Legends

And why we need to collect them

Saturday 2025-09-13 was, apart from being Breakaway Day, also the anniversary of the day I had to go to my boss's office to be told I had until October 11 at work.

That was a day when the other staff saw me crossing the car park, past the surgery, to go into the Yellow Building. I closed the door. All was still.
