 # Working Title: Death Alley
 
 This is a writing project for which writing actual prose begins in November
 2020, having performed some planning and outlining in the previous month(s).

+
+I'm working in a branch, not the project trunk (aka "main branch").  If you're

+what I'm doing, but it isn't really organized to be intelligible to others at
+present.
