The Christmas Market


"For eleven months of the year the three generations existed in harmony beneath the same roof. That tragedy had befallen the family seven years ago no lodger or patron in the establishment would ever suspect or admit."

Mac Tire, the Son of the Countryside

 The Birthday


 

Another birthday. My thirty-seventh. Somehow, there seemed great significance attached to my being thirty-seven. There were famous figures in history who didn’t quite kick-off their careers till they were thirty-seven. George Barnard Shaw was one of them; that I knew.  And there were others too, but I couldn’t think of any. I’d do a Google on them later.

 High Flyer


 

MOST of all Isabel noticed his hands.  They were good hands, dark-skinned, kind hands, but capable, too. It took huge effort during the 20-minute journey home not to glance directly at his face again. When the sound of the engine shifted, as the train roared through the short tunnels, she watched his window reflection watching hers.

 On the Seventh Day


 

While Ellie scraped the razor down his cheekbone to his jaw, he tried to synchronise his breathing with hers. Her breath caressed his face. The nerve twitching at the side of his head pulled his reluctant eyes towards his own reflection in the bathroom mirror.

The Panicked Rat


 

Christmas Eve: cold and sparkling. Happy faces. Children’s voices, like chirping birds, twittering about Santa. And the shoppers smiling and simpering their apologies for getting in each other’s way.
