Bromford's Arc - Part 25 - 12:23 a.m.

Apartment 2 - First Floor - right hand side … and we walk all night.

'What is going on up there? Sounds like a stampede in the zoo!'

Mario or Luigi, our concierge or janitor, is looking up the stairs form the first floor. He is wearing a white wig and a false white beard. His bathrobe is in a scarlet red with furry white collar and cuffs. And he is wearing a kind of white coif on his head.

'Oh, are you Santa Claus?' the llama shouts out.

'No, no, never!' Mario or Luigi shouts back. 'I am the concierge or janitor of the apartment building on 666 Whitaker Lane in Bromford, the friendly town by the bay and seaside. And I am feeling like in The Handyman's Tale here. What are you all doing up so late at night?'

'We are out on an adventure with Bromford, our savior!' the pairs of neighbours scream out loud now joined by Betsy and Barnabas Bear from apartment 2. 'He gave us a sign. He gave us a sign. He gave us a sign. And he will save us all.'

'This is ridiculous', Kylie says. 'Give me that wand.'

And she takes it out of the llama's toes.

'I myself am a super alumnus of MixMax, the Institute of Wizardcraft and Witchery, and I will put an end to this madness in the middle of the night.'

She turns around to the crowd of babbling beings and utters the magic spell louder than ever:

'REVELIO!'

And way down we go …


"Bromford"

Nobody sees my disease,
Nobody sees my disease,
Sat on a lonely chair,
Sat on a lonely chair,

Nobody sees my disease,
I'm happier when I'm on my knees.
She's still living in Bromford
She's still living in Bromford.

Nobody sees my pain,
Nobody sees my pain.
Sat in a lonely room,
Sat in a lonely room.

Nobody sees my pain,
People come they don't care.
She still lives in Bromford
She still lives in Bromford.

Nobody sees my disease.

Nobody sees my disease,
Nobody sees my disease.
Struck on a lonely chair,
People they come they don't care.

Nobody sees my disease,
Happier when I'm on my knees, love.
She still lives in Bromford
She still lives in Bromford
She still lives in Bromford
She still lives in Bromford

She'll never see my disease.
