I've been meaning to expand on this for the last couple of days but haven't found myself in front of a keyboard to do so - I mostly browse on the iPad, which isn't conductive to writing effortposts.

The audios have honestly been a massive help to me over the last couple of years. I think I got onto the first one on a post-midnight drive out of Sydney and it got me home quite effectively. Since then they've nicely drowned out roommate parties, neighbours arguing, other neighbours makin' sex and just plain and simple insomnia. I look forward to them a lot, and I'm extremely grateful that you've put the time in.

The way it ended, with just the tableau of an empty rose gate as the final 'image', just put me in mind of something going Very Badly Wrong and the teleportees arriving in somewhere very unpleasant. In fairness, that could just be the Game of Thrones fan in me expecting you to torture your characters.
