An Episodic Story Blog by Louise Singleton

Captain Copenhagen is a fictional story with currently 20 episodes available online to read for free! It is written and illustrated by Louise Singleton.


After her 14 year old daughter Leonie is diagnosed with depression, Helen decides that they need to move to one of the happiest countries in the world… Denmark! Her hope is that she can use the country’s traditions, culture and everything Danish to “cure” her daughter and make her happy again. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple.
With episodes from both Helen and Leonie’s point of view, Captain Copenhagen is a story filled with heartfelt silliness. A charming mixture of comedy and drama.
19. The Hot Day
Helen, Mother
It was a beautiful hot summer’s day. The sun shining down, not a cloud in the sky. The kind of day that you see in the final heroic scene of a Hollywood film. The kind of day that lovers, children, and all that aspire for natural bliss desire. The perfect day to really enjoy the beautiful world and get some refreshing fresh air.
Naturally, we were staying inside.
There’s hot, and then there’s hot. And this day was just too hot. Leonie and I are both highly British and highly pastie. If there’s a chance to melt, we melt. If there’s a chance to burn, we burn.
And so we were sat inside our small flat, enjoying the sun coming through the window.
This is our way of doing things. Enjoying the sun from the shade….
