...t that hit him. At the age of 36, he was one of the oldest surviving inhabitants of the city of London, and he was beginning to feel every second of it.
As day broke in earnest, David crawled through the hot, cloying, ash-riddled air that rose up from the recently straked ground, feeling the gaseous tar and dry, acrid dust coat his skin and clothing with every step. Say what you like about dragons, they knew how to make you feel miserable.
