..any one stranger, especially a woman ever stared him down in such a way. He may have thought. What did I ever do to her or is she crazy or any other thing which confused his Mercedes driving middle age white male self. I eventually rolled the window down thin sliced ham cracked and he very sadly asked "hhhhow are you?" I told him upon questioning that yes I heard the gunshot from the drunk guy on the hill and that's why I was leaving. Any all. #prose #memoir

London 1999-2001
I arrived in the UK the second time, from Australia via a month or so in America visiting my best friend Braden in and around Seattle in October 1999 with the plan to head down to Cornwall and find work. I only got as far as Torquay where I found a really cool backbackers and spent a couple of nice weeks there idly looking for work .. it was run by a really friendly lady.. i forget her name
