Most histories won’t dwell here. But this is the story of soot-slicked brickwork, twisted flues, and the boys who were sent in after them. You were small, so you were useful. You were quiet, so you were forgotten. This immersive, second-person narrative puts you inside the life of a Victorian climbing boy — from the cellar where you slept to the shaft where you might die.
This episode explores what it meant to be treated as a tool instead of a child — a life measured in inches and soot. It’s dark, slow, and true.
