Keep Digging	Title	Description
1	A Memory of London, As Excavation Looms	The Waswood has assembled itself into a forested imitation of London. And the trees (which are […] also lamp-posts) bear fruits of […] newspapers. […] Everything […] is squeezed into one […] column, with a […] headline ('MAN-EATING CHASM OPENS UNDER MOCKING HILL'). […]
2 - 5	A Memory of London, Riddled with Holes	London (which is a forest) is riven with chasms and sinkholes, a municipal ruin cast in [...] vines. One of the pavilions in Tyrant's Gardens looks a little crooked as [...] the intangible architecture collapses into one of the Waswood's many tributaries.
7 - 10	A Memory of London, When the Cracks Started to Show	The ground trembles and cracks; the forest floor is scarred. The trees (which are buildings) and glades (which are streets) form a vision of London as it was during the Great Sink.
11 - 12	A Memory of London, When the Cracks Started to Show	The ground (moss and shrub and ghostly brickwork) is steady beneath your feet now, but the great pits and chasms of the Great Sink still scar the landscape of this memory. Now, as then, the peril has passed, but never forgotten.
