Dancing Queen
Mr Wormwood and the Melting Point of Metals
Emperor Nero and Emperor Neros Mum
The Drips and the Drops and the Windsor Knot
Mr Fairview Makes Me Tell the Truth
The People Who Come and Sit on the Chair
The First Time I Saw Dad After He Died
I walked down the hall and pushed the door and went into the smoke and all the voices went quiet like I was the ghost.
Carla the Barmaid was wearing her hoop earrings and her tired eyes. She was pouring a pint and she smiled at me and she was going to say something but the beer spilt over the top.
Uncle Alan who is Dads brother was there wearing his suit that was tight with his neck pouring over like the beer over the glass. His big hands still had the black on them from mending cars at the Garage. They were over Mums hands and Mums head was low like it was sad and Uncle Alans head kept going down and he lifted Mums head up with his eyes. He kept talking to Mum and he looked at me for a second and he saw me but he didnt say anything. He just looked back at Mum and kept pouring his words that made her forget about Dad.
Nan
