    Summary

    Five times Martin falls in love with Jon, and one time that he doesn't.

    ***

    Something rises in his chest.

    And then abruptly, it changes direction –

    And falls.

    Oh no.

    No, not that.

    Anything but that.

    He doesn’t have time for –

    No no no…

    He can't afford a new bloody poetry notebook.

    Summary

    At the safehouse, there is only one bed.

    There is also a sofa.

    ***

    “The sofa and I were just getting acquainted, the bed’s all yours. No arguments.”

    “Jon, your back is –“

    “Significantly smaller than yours. It’s fine, I’ve been on a cot in my office for months. The sofa will be like memory foam,” he says breezily, thinking about the memory foam mattress that’s been sitting chopped up in the skip down the road from the institute for the last month. It’s got bits of smashed up dining table and concrete sticking out of it, like some sort of grim hedgehog.

    ***

    Ruminations on verb tenses, the colour brown, and electric blankets, on the first night at the safehouse.

    PERFECTION

    Summary

    The long and short of it is, Martin’s usually in for eight these days.

    He, as usual, lumbers his yawning way into the breakroom, and today is unfortunately one of the approximate three-out-of-five working days that he forgets about the sticky-out-bit on the doorframe. He bashes his hip on it, snaps a choice word and digs his squashed Tesco croissant out of his bag, then dumps the bag beside the offending door. He flips off the sticky-out-bit, and faces the room, and –

    Nearly jumps out of his skin.

    Because Jonathan Sims is dead asleep on the beaten-up sofa.

    ***

    A sleepy Jon, a chat that explains some things, and a memory.

    Summary

    Five vignettes of Jon's life, captured at 1:17am.

    A torchlight project, a shift of the tides, a new beginning, a phone call, something trembling on a knife-edge.
