• THE DARKNESS

  

  This wasn’t where he belonged. He was comfortable in town, in the narrow, dirty streets and rundown boarding houses. He liked to be among people, even though he despised them.

• GLISTENING WAVES

  

  ‘You never listen.’ Glisten. The sun dancing on the water. ‘You’re never there.’ Dare. The cold water round his ankles. ‘I’ve been having an affair.’ Stare.

• DREAMING OF HEATHER

  

  The bed sheets are damp with sweat. The muggy, warm air offers no relief. I unwrap myself and lie on top of the duvet. This weather has to break soon. It isn’t just the close atmosphere that has made me sweat. I had been dreaming of her again. Vague images of my dream come back…
