It's amazing Terry how many ways you have transformed this text into something different. I thought it was getting a little old in your earlier posts but this time it was fun!
I do not turn on a light when I get up in the night. There is a light outside my window close by, so it shines a lot of light into my bedroom. It's not like it is daytime but I can see everything clearly.
Terry, you are going to turn this whole project into a book, aren't you? Please say yes!
Loved everything about this post. The 'Choose your own adventure' was really great - I was surprised and delighted at how rapidly I got to reading 17% of my book. I never turn the light on when I get up in the night - I used to have excellent night vision, and although I maybe still do, I put my not-putting-the-lights-on these days down to sheer bloody-mindedness instead.
The court procedural experiment was great fun!
Still laughing at the 'sweet baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee donkey' quote from Line of Duty - your piece absolutely dived in and swam around in the whole Line of Duty-ness of Line of Duty - really clever! I loved that programme but the first four series were gold compared with the ageing tarnished brass of the latter two.
Thanks, Rebecca! In think in the choose-your-own-adventure one you reach the book part because hardly anything else happens! 😂 I have pretty good night vision, but I aklso have a tendency to turn myself completely around sometimes. So on that occasion I was sleeping with my feet on the pillow, which is why I walked in the wrong direction. You really wanted to know that, didn't you? 😂
I enjoyed writing the court procedural one. I think the form lends itself to interruptions, unusual language (like 'May it please your lordship' and, as Jody pointed out, simply not telling the whole truth. I also enjoyed making it a bit self-referential by referring to this project in the cross-examination!
Thanks re Line of Duty. I'm not sure anyone who hasn't seen it would get as much out of it, but I have to say I was especially proud of that made up Ted Hastings quote! Thanks. I agree with you that after the first few series it all started to get a bit ridiculous. And was it my imagination, or did the last episode in each one involve finding out that some person we'd never heard of before, or had heard of but never knew their middle name, had a middle name beginning with 'H' or had a nickname like Houdini or something? 😂
Court procedural was really great in the way you used it to go meta and explore how every version, in a way, failed to capture the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but it.

Old? It's only me that's getting old! I enjoyed writing the court one. Thanks for that! 😁

Thanks, Jody. Actually, I hadn't thought of it in that way but you're right! Wish I'd have thought of it first :-) Thanks!
