Excellent reading, thank you! I only wish you didn't alter the text as you did at 35:52: "...but the bars are too strong to even try" is a case of splitting infinitives. The author used correct grammar ("...even to try"), and who we readers to take liberties with a masterpiece? What's next - change Shakespeare's famous line to "To be or to not be"?
Thank you, this short story had been in my TBR for a long time 👍

Wow...I wonder what would've happened to this poor woman during covid lockdowns!
