William Shakespeare is one of several writers who produced great works when stuck behind closed doors (he was in quarantine when he wrote King Lear.)

As long as I can be Baby, but I don’t want to be put in the corner.

A screeching sound from the building assaulted their ears, but a strangely exoctic scent wafted on the breeze.

fatgran57 Wed 18-Mar-20 05:54:16

They had landed in the Australian Outback and the screeching sounds were Australian gransnetters having a meetup, The exotic scent wafting on the air was
