These events were real and totally happened

From December 2014 to May 2015, I worked with sound engineer David Chisholm on recording the audiobook for Singular. During what turned out to be our third-last session - which, for the purposes of narrative we were pretending was our last session - my friend and occasional co-conspirator David Candy dropped by to take some obviously staged photographs "behind the scenes".

Only people called David were involved in this project. These are real people, not other personalities I have.

I think.

Anyway - photographs!

DFP asks whether, even to the untrained eye, it will be obvious that much of the equipment in this photograph is being used incorrectly

DFP pretends to listen to audio using only one headphone, because he's seen other people do that in like films and shit

DFP pretends to have made a risqué joke while David Chisholm, who hasn't dressed like a batman villain but is instead wearing normal clothes, looks on in bemusement

in easily the most awkward moment of either man's life, DFP and David Chisholm fake a high five for the fake ending of the recording sessions. At the actual end of the recording sessions, some weeks later, there was no actual high five. Look at the awkwardness - that's almost certainly a future leader of a political party right there.
