The Couple in the Cabin

by Daniel Hurst

Maybe I’ll go to Mum’s again today and have another go at trying to make things better between us. Another attempt at trying to show her that me being in her life isn’t all bad news. Or maybe I’ll just leave it and save myself the disappointment. I’ll just carry on being alone while the days tick by until my birthday, and then I’ll see who wants to come for a drink with me. One of the girls in the office will, I’m sure, and that’s all I need. Somebody to share something with. A drink. A night. A memory. Little did I know it then, but my thirtieth birthday was going to be the night I met somebody I would end up sharing a lot with in my future. The good times. And the bad. Somebody else’s life was about to be changed by me coming into it. And that somebody was eventually going to end up hating me too.

WHAT TENSE ARE WE IN PLEASE
