In 2009, an ignorant, grunting bog-warrior stumbled indolently through the smog and slag heaps of the industrial north of England in the direction of the misty, cobbled winds of auld reekie.
This new place was unsettling. The big buildings had intact panes of glass in the windows, complete roofs on and even lights coming from inside. He did find some dark, damp cellars, caves and vaults to hide in, although occasionally he'd be disturbed by a person pretending to be from the past, showing people from other countries what it was like in the damp dark places and telling scary stories.
Initially, the locals found this troll-like creature curious and a few even took interest in his incomprehensible rantings; paying a shilling each to witness this Grenouille-esque half-ling deliver his attempts at musical story-telling. Inevitably, they soon got sick of it and sent him packing back to 'cottonopolis', as one particularly ancient academic put it.
So, once again, he can be found lurking in the abandoned outhouses of South Manchester, re-enacting the worthwhile employ of his ancestors with rocks and discarded red bull cans, hoping not to be discovered.
