Some people’s lives have a definite narrative thread to them. Blackford, on the other hand, lives in the same way a five year-old plays darts.

So rather than attempting to impose an arbitrary structure on his memoirs, he chose the model called the ‘Mind Map’. The following is a loose collection of anecdotes, linked by people, or places, or trivial coincidences.

If you know any of the characters, or identify with a particular story, feel free to add your own. Perhaps we’ll create the Mind Mappa Mundi linking the entire population of the world in a network of contiguous experience.

Wicked.
