Pecan: Because Squirrels Love Nuts

When The Man Comes Around
October 22, 2008My neighbour is a changed man.
Don’t get carried away now. He’s still mass-producing atrocious postcards. Ninety little cardboard soldiers a month carrying the hope of his salvation. And it’s been slim pickings lately, or so he says. Only a 30 Euro shopping voucher and a small fridge. It’s that last prize he’s come to tell me about as I notice the difference in his breath.

Lustrum
October 14, 2008Fifteen little white candles on a single chocolate cake. Seven sets of grins – some more fake than others – saying ‘congratulations’ and all the hand-clapping they can muster to go with it. I break the little sweat of awkwardness and mostly just feel old. Where the fuck did those fifteen years go?
