The Call

    Over the next weeks, I watched Luke transform in front of my eyes. Where once stood a rough-around-the-edges construction worker, I now found a softened gentleman. Where turmoil had churned, peace now reigned.

I didn't get one so I asked for a bicycle for Christmas. Christmas came and there was no bicycle by the tree. I had developed a mantra by my ninth birthday. I knew exactly what I wanted, "a twenty-six-inch...

PIGS

     'Is that your car, Sir?' I looked on as the slightly overweight police officer made his way across the petrol stationforecourt towards me. As I sat behind the wheel, I observed the officer's nervous steps; the steps were matched with a tense but determined facial expression. I had always been very observant. Especially when I was irritated, and I was very irritable, and the sight of this, late thirty-something year old, round-faced, red-cheeked, white police officer, made me feel extremely irritated.     'Excuse me?'...
