The Vanishing of Margaret Small

by Neil Alexander

‘When somebody close to you dies,’ she says, her voice a whisper, ‘memories float in and out of the mind at the most unexpected, inappropriate times.’

Ain’t it funny how music can take you back, make you think of people and places you hadn’t thought of for a long time?

There are people in your life who you might not like that much, but they’re still part of it, if you know what I mean. They’re still a part of your life.
