Platinum Writer

Ed is once more in financial crisis following Elgar’s huge vets bill.

Gone is the fancy new car, the trips out, and the fodder box. Staying home isn’t so much a rule now as a necessity driven by lack of funds, and live streaming is the new Theatre.

But there is light on the horizon when Ed is offered the chance to write the script for a new movie by Jaz Milvain.

Maggie has also secured Ed a job writing biographies for ‘ordinary people’ which pays well, includes a free car and earns Ed the plaudit of ‘Platinum Writer’.

The problem is, Ed can only choose one job – which is it to be?
