My Vostok, your Salamanca. Whilst my pet names for you will recall early Soviet space projects, your terms of endearment for me will be tributes to the golden age of locomotion.

These books will be bound in leather and sit upon mahogany shelves in libraries filled with the scent of rich cognac and many taxidermies.

The sickening malaise of humankind provided the canvas for my advert, and the disgusting spectacle of dashed hopes and forgotten dreams was my paint.
