Finnian Eddington loved watching the pigeons gather in the square. He imagined they were having secret meetings, whispering about crumbs and the best places to roost. Sometimes he'd leave a bit of his bread for them, hoping to be invited to join their feathered parliament. Finnian believed that everyone, even birds and squirrels, had important things to say.
He lived in a cozy terraced house with his mum, a woman who smelled faintly of lavender and old books. She often read him stories about faraway places and brave adventurers, sparking his imagination and filling his head with dreams of exploring the world beyond Paddington.
Finnian's favourite place was the park at the end of his street. There he'd build elaborate castles out of twigs and leaves, each one a fortress for imaginary knights and princesses. He believed that anything was possible if you just used your imagination.
