DELILAH AND ME
In my mind’s eye, I see him turn slowly towards me, the sun behind him, a lazy grin spreading over his face, a twinkle in his eyes, and I ache with a strange yearning I can’t quite understand.
Back then, I’d have done anything to avoid going home after school. Now, I’d give anything to walk up that path and for everything to be just as it used to be. Just once more.
I’d sell my soul to the devil for one more time. For a second chance.

POISON SUMMER
There was something in the air that summer. It was almost palpable, throbbing with the underlying heaviness that precedes an electrical storm. The whole city seemed pressurised, volatile, on edge. A tight knot of tension was in everything, including me. Like an overwound guitar string, I was about to snap.
I must have wanted change so badly, I’d somehow manifested it into being, because, when I’d stepped off the plane that night, I’d just known it was out there, waiting for me in the blackness.
