Hello you gorgeous boys and girls, and a very merry Christmas morning on Christmas

day to you. I'm recording this on Christmas Eve. After I've had a few beautiful jails

with some of my accomplices and acquaintances. I'm giving you a Christmas present on this

Christmas day. I'm giving you a short story and I said it wouldn't release any more

short stories because I'm recording an audiobook for 2018, but it's Christmas day and I

want to give you a fucking surprise. So the following will be a beautiful short story.

It's from my book of short stories, The Gospel, Accommodation, The Blowing Bay, which you may or may

not have received this Christmas morning. Christmas is a beautiful time. It's when we celebrate the

birth of a 2000 year old carpenter from the Iron Age who grew up to be a magician. This short story

is called Malaga and it's awesome. That is family friendly to an extent. There's no adult

themes but I don't have cars in it. I do a little bit. It'll be grand. So please listen to this short

story and leave a review of the podcast, subscribe to the podcast and if you're feeling especially

generous, please donate to this podcast's Patreon account www.patreon.com,

forward slash The Blowing Bay podcast. Please have a delicious, gorgeous, sensual and

delicate Christmas day. You kinds.

we knew for sure that the world was round, that the plane from where it's flying is actually going

in a straight line. But gravity carves around the earth like the frozen tennis bar,

so the plane is really bending with the earth. That's why from the ground where we see it,

it looks like it's dropping out. Perspective he called it. He said perspective is what we gain in life
