The Sound and the Philpott

Memories can be dangerous. They have the power to cast long shadows. They can ensnare the unwary and the desperate. They can trap and hold captive. In that sense, they're a bit like spiders. or outhouses, which also trap and hold captive. Outhouse builders do not recommend that the basements of their highly utilitarian structures be used as hiding places. They even say so on their product warning labels: "Using the cesspit of this structure as a hiding place is not recommended. Doing so may/will violate the manufacturer's warranty."However, sometimes there is no alternative. None at all. That said, it's often easier to get into a cesspit than it is to get out of one, even with the help of an cybernetic dog and an android call girl.
