    "Marlowe! Here! Now!" screamed Lando King the editor and owner of the Newspaper where Jim Marlowe worked as a reporter. 
    "Sounds like you got Lando really angry, said his friend Lance Alexander, who also worked there. 
    "Yeah," Jim said and rushed off to their boss's office to see Lando. 
    Jim timidly opened Lando's office door and walked scaredly into the room. 
    "Marlowe what took you so long to get here, did you come here via Tasmania?" shouted Lando. Jim grimaced nervously. 
    "No sir," said Jim, thinking it must have been the article he wrote for yesterday's paper. 
    It was.  
    "How dare you try to put such idealistic tripe in my paper," shouted Lando, throwing a pile of papers at Jim. They were the article he submitted for editing and the notes on it. 
    "It wasn't tripe, Sir, it was the truth," Jim shouted back. 
    It was his second mistake talking back to Lando the control freak. 
    "The Earth does go round the Sun it's scientific a fact!" the livid Jim shouted. 
    "You precocious upstart," said the skeptical Lando, "get out of my newspaper!" shouted Lando. 
    "See you tomorrow, Mr. King, when you have calmed down a bit," said Jim. 
    "No you are fired, never stain my floors and paper again," shouted a furious Lando. 
    "No you can't fire me I quit," shouted Jim.

He was a magical performer, pretending to play a banjo with an old tennis racket wearing a white pith helmet with a painted red band that had seen better days. He told wonderfully engrossing stories, some scary - but not too much. Goose was universally loved and deeply respected by parents and kids alike."

    Step into the brooding expanse of Nightfall on the Moor, an audiobook that carries you into a twilight world where every whisper of wind and rustle in the heather hides a secret. In this haunting journey, you’ll: 
    Traverse windswept moorland as dusk descends, the air thick with swirling mist and the distant cry of unseen creatures.Uncover an age-old legend of a mournful figure said to wander the peat bogs at the edge of night—its silhouette flickering like a dying flame.Follow a solitary traveler driven by dreams of lost love, racing across boggy paths and crumbling stone walls to confront the truth buried beneath the heather.Feel the pulse of tension with every creak of decaying gates, soft drip of dew from gnarled branches, and the crackling of distant firelight beckoning from an abandoned bothy.Piece together fragments of a forgotten diary, half-erased carvings on standing stones, and whispers carried on the wind—each clue drawing you deeper into the moor’s ancient heart. 
    Narrated with a low, atmospheric cadence and woven with immersive soundscapes—from the howl of gusting winds to the soft murmur of hidden streams—Nightfall on the Moor envelops you in a world where dusk never truly lifts. Press play…and let the moor claim you under its shrouded sky.
