And I'm Underwood and flinch, a novel written and performed.

Underwood and Flench, a novel written and performed for podcast by Mike Bennett.

Episode 5.

This podcast is intended for an adult audience. Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen.

Previously, on Underwooden Flinch, we met David Smith, a recovering alcoholic who was knocked off the wagon of recovery, when he received a letter

from his family's solicitors.

Was it the news of his brother's terminal illness that so upset him, or the realization that

he could no longer run away from the fact that his real name is David Flinch.

As this week's episode begins, we find ourselves once again in David's apartment,

so why don't we just settle back and let him explain everything?

Chapter 4

David? He walked in. He was already dressed in black jeans,

jeans, a grey suit jacket, and a faded motorhead t-shirt.

His hair was damp and he had shaved, but he looked rough.

His face was puffy and his eyes red and bleary.

His toothbrush was sticking out of his mouth. He took it out.

Aye.

His voice sounded like he had a head cold he looked down embarrassed

sorry about last night he came over and sat down on the bed.

I must have been pretty ugly.

Yes, and you don't look so good this morning either.
