What A Canterbury Tale is
A mist-laden bus stop outside Faversham, autumn drizzle on overcoats. A soldier’s gloved hand presses a ration-book into the palm of woman who never asked for it. A magnetised needle drags another victim across night-dark fields, empty except for the clink of a bottle left behind. Three strangers pursue a local who salts the water, a crime no one notices—yet.
