This is an odd opening to a fairy-tale... what was on your mind? If you remember, as I think it'll be 2023 before you reach this comment :)
Once upon a time in Moscow "Once upon a time in Moscow," said the babushka who was sat next to the flickering stub of the candle, "there was an American who was so old that it was rumoured you could tell his age by counting his wrinkles. He had flown all the way there in winter and so was greatly surprised by the difference in temperature as it was snowing in Moscow and had been for weeks." She shifted in her seat; she didn't often tell tales with a basis of truth but the body of the American, now buried under an inch of iron-hard soil in the cellar, was making her uneasy. "He had come with strange news to tell about the presidential election in his home country."
Greg - I started with 'Once upon a time in...', then sat around for ten minutes trying to decided where I should go with. Then I think I saw something about Putin and... voila.
Also: hah, still 2022. Ya burnt.
Hah... I think I like this babushka. Though I certainly wouldn't want to cross her.
