This naturally caught my eye - I'd LOVE to know the origins of it! Before anyone asks, there weren't any old town stocks that I could find, but there may have been in the past of course.
This is a marvellous idea and I thank you for the convenience. Working on the assumption that all of these will be as worthwhile as the stories you've posted to this point, I can see myself coming back here with some regularity. My own writing has dried up slightly but once I've eventually...
