Here be dragons.

Hmmmm, sorry about the length of it, and I look forward to your comments, however they come. But it is cheating to sneak a look at the end!

I am trying to remember now where the original thought came from - I think it was something which DrGeordie posted - but that memory is lost in the midst of time. The plot started off as something much more complex, and in a way much more interesting, but,i would have needed a full novel to explore properly!
