I wrote this story in a mood during summer. The heat, the crowds, the emotional stuff that happens when we feel caged & then autumn comes along & changes everything.

So happy to be published with Underbelly Press. Here it is.

The 2:21am drunk outside my bedroom window made an interesting insomnia hour last night.

‘Everything we went through, wail, wail.‘

Yeah, I know.

Just put a ten pt guess to J on this shot. He said, well it’s not local is it, the road’s too straight.

5:30 was the hour when we all looked at each other and said, well, that’s that then.

Out with the pheasants this morning on three hours sleep.

There are nights that are well and nights that are long. That old tape that keeps playing, hour after hour. Images, words, memories and faces. So much energy, you could just sit there all night thinking. Insomniac wilderness.

The distance.

Just did an introvert walk, you know the sort. Quick diversions to avoid bad weather conversations, dark clothes, head down. It’s too Monday for all of that today.

Just finished writing a chapter. Definitely not a dad read. J is like shocked and grinning, that’s not happening, telling me I need to be careful with her. Think I hit it right.

About to change into my third costume of the day after two Zwift rides and a weight training session this morning. Definitely time for a cuppa.

Today definitely has a theme about it. Go to the shop to buy your first Shirley Jackson book, compliment a witch on her eyeliner, drive back on Blue Öyster Cult and then fork lightening strikes.
