Misplaced: why do disguise real locations? (2015)

"...apart from the forewent, for the most part, the fictitious place. ’s Dublin, ’s St Petersburg, ’s Vienna, ’s Berlin, ’s Manhattan, Céline’s Paris, ’s were almost overwhelmingly realistic. Was this a reaction to the quaintness of Little Baddington, Glimmerglass Lake, Dotheboys Hall, Pemberley, Tillietudlem and Langdirdum?"

Please read the short story by Haruki Murakami titled TV People. It’s based on the psychological condition known as night paralysis, which inordinately affects Japanese people. Waking up at night, paralysed, unable to move, yet subjected to unimaginable horrors.
Good stuff!

Saint Petersburg, Russia
Protesters overwhelm the cops, many of whom mutiny and join the resistance.

The Kremlin is spreading virus among the protesters to justify imposition of Chinese "zero-covid" style measures to suppress dissidents.

Explosive new discoveries by Joanna Smythe, Ph.D., on contract for the FBI and on the NATO bio-weapons detail.
