The house sighed; it breathed in the damp London air, feeling the aches of its age and the ever-present river mist settling into its wooden joints.

Sunday, the perfect day for relaxing with a cold beer and a new short from Deadman’s Tome. If you don’t drink beer, then perhaps a glass of scotch or a shot of jack would be a good alternative.
