By writer and podcaster Georgina Scull.  It's Black Friday, and Anne is ticking off her list of stuff. Read by Fiona Skinner.

Writer and podcaster Georgina Scull creates a fictional response to a story in this week's news.  

It's Black Friday this week, and Anne is ticking off her list.  Her tiny suitcase will soon be full and she'll leave forty-odd years' worth of stuff behind in the house. Including all the things she bought for her husband: so many thoughtful gifts. Most of which she bought after his death.  

Because in death, Michael could be all the things he wasn't in life.

Georgina Scull's first book is 'Regrets of the Dying', a powerful, moving and hopeful book exploring what people regret most when they are dying and how this can help us lead a better life.  It is based on a successful podcast of the same name.  Georgina's other work has been shortlisted for several awards, including the Orange Prize for Screenwriting.
