Ian Gough

Here, we come across the natural habitat of a rarely seen creature. A darkened room, cave-like in appearance. Random scrawls and hieroglyphs of an indecipherable nature adorn the wall. They are meaningless to all but their originator.

It isn’t long before the creature itself appears. Hunched over a keyboard, it mumbles random, incoherent ideas of fancy which often lead to giggles of joy. The creature is so caught up in its thoughts that it ignores our presence, allowing us the chance to record such rarity.

Note the light dusting of stubble upon its chin and the rectangular glasses. If we pay close attention, we can see patches of weathered skin and deep purple circles under each eye, brought on by a lack of sunlight, and exacerbated by a string of restless nights spent deliberating over the plot of its latest novel.

The combination of discoveries proves one thing beyond all reasonable doubt.

This creature is the lesser spotted Ian. And he is an author.
