Introduction by the author
I am sitting in a room different to the one you are in now, unless you are in the room that I am in now, which is very unlikely unless you are me. Even if it is the same room, it will be different, as the objects within it will have moved. At the very least the air will be different. Unless you are in this room at the same moment as I am, right now, as I write this. Which you aren't.

The room is (was) in a bungalow in a former pit town in rural South Yorkshire.
