I am being held hostage by www.girlgeniusonline.com and am unable to escape. Eventually I will run out of episodes, though . . .
Do we need to send a rescue team?

Molly?
Are you stuck?
There isn't any definitive way of dealing with the passage of time; I think it's one of the things that offers a most interesting challenge to authors and cinematographers (remember that innovation or Orson Wells and used in Alistair Sims' A Christmas Carol - the pages flying off the calendar as the seasons change in a barely-focused background).I have a question that I hope others can answer.
What's the best way of showing the elapse of time in a story?.
My character starts in hospital and I can show his visitors no problem. But when home (sick-leave), it's not so easy.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Then the Dragon can fly again . . . . .

You might try working in an allusion to some natural or anthropogenic phenomena to show it, picking one that reflects the amount of time you need to have elapse.

good...MAybe not quite, but it does give me a few ideas, thanks
'Ello, naked folks!
'ello, sweet Beastie. What's new in the zoo?
Oi! You calling me a monkey?
Am not.......silly Beastie.
Gonna stay for a drink?
A brief one. A cider, by preference.
But will need to get to bed at a reasonable time, tonight.
First, the cider. Then, bed. Got it.
Ooh, tempting! So very, very tempting.
What are you having? (To drink, that is.)
