In this episode we're sharing "The Mark on the Wall" by Virginia Woolf.

It is not a story of grand plots or sweeping action. Instead, is an intimate journey which tracks the fluid, wandering thoughts of a narrator sitting by a fire, transfixed by a mysterious dark mark on the wall just above the mantelpiece. Have you ever found your thoughts wandering so far you can barely trace them back to where you started. Listen in and hear Virginia Woolfe's thought path.
