Disclaimers: I am participating in my culture by commenting on and inviting discussion about a television series in the form of a story written about two of those characters in my own words. The title of the film for this prompt was taken from an epithet applied to a real person, Joseph Merrick, upon whose true story I base many of these fictitious words. No harm to his reputation is intended or should be inferred.
Summary: It's a restless night for Jack, and therefore for Ianto.
Beta: My husband.
