Thursday Runaround – The Dead Body Of Kieron Gillen

CorpseWatch: So I've been playing Kieron Gillen's The Curfew game from Channel 4 and Littleloud that I've been talking about of late. And I just bumped into the chapter with ex-policeman Saul. Appears he's a but of a geek. References to Raymond Briggs and Where The Wind Blows, Watchmen and even a shout out to Optimus Prime for our mutual friend and robot fan Nick Locking. And then suddenly… well, he encounters the dead body of one Kieron Gillen.
