The first story is named The Blood Drought. It starts in nineteenth-century London where a mysterious figure explores the dreary town and sets fire to each place he visits. Themes include the history of the UK alongside the battle of art versus the destruction of time.
The second story, The Rat Status, is a story about depression, murder, mystery, idiocracy, and indoctrination with a pinch of self-discovery all in a really short fast-paced story.
