as documented in another (now defunct) blog, from whose archives i shall one day extract the remainder for posting: occasionally ideas flash through my mind – concepts that i find weird, amusing, or cute – and unless i write them down immediately the are lost.

i call them short-story ideas, although i am unlikely ever to write them. here’s another that i found whilst sifting through some old notes:

The Bognor Keys: a small tropical island / an island / a sand-bank off the south coast of Britain, where knotty-hatted locals go to dive for pearls and seafood.Sank in 1956.
