“You have any idea what it’s like to watch someone you love slip away from you? Have you ever lost someone like that?”

Wren paused. “No.”

“I pray you never do. You watch the light fade from them until they’re out of reach. You watch their body shut down. It’s the most devastating, helpless sensation imaginable. I couldn’t wake up every day for the rest of my life to face a world that didn’t have you in it.”

“What? It’s my save the world outfit. It worked in Flash Gordon. This is just like the football scene, except instead of having to get through evil henchmen, we have to get through evil horticulture.”

“Words fail me.” I shake my head as Sam gives her a very appreciative once-over.

“If the world is about to end, boo,” she says fiercely, “then I’m going out looking fucking fabulous.”

“Fair enough,” I concede.

“Jesus Christ!” Danny exclaims. “Look at the sky! It’s like an episode of Dr Who."

“That can’t be good,” Dusty mutters. “How much do you want to bet that eye is right over Whitechapel?”

“Tristan,” Bruce says heavily, glancing at the box in my arms. “We need to get to the bookshop.”

“Okay,” Sam interjects. “Less talking. To the Batmobile!”

Danny sends him a wry look. “How long have you wanted to say that?”

I hurry along the wall, scanning the labels until I reach one in particular. I pull it down & heft it onto the island, removing the lid. Sam & I stare down at the bones piled neatly in the box. “That’s him? That’s Bruce?”

“Yeah, that’s him.”

“Huh…” Sam’s brows rise. “I didn’t recognize him without the shorts.”

“How do we know it’s definitely him?” Danny asks from across the room.

“It says so on the box.”

“I’m so happy for you. I mean, the world is going to end tomorrow and everything, but you guys are in love.” I sigh.

“Actually, the world isn’t going to end tomorrow,” Bruce says, “not if I can help it.”

“I really hope not,” I say, sniffing again, “because we just spent a fortune on a new fridge freezer, and it would be a such a waste if I was murdered by zombies and didn’t get to use it.”

“Oh, nothing scares you. I’m the one plagued by fears and self-doubts. It’s your unshakable steadiness in the face of life’s slings and arrows that gives me the courage to face the challenges.”

“Steady?” Wrexford couldn’t hold back a mocking laugh. “I’m the mercurial Moon—the cover of darkness hides a multitude of sins. You’re the Sun, not afraid to shine your light on every shadow, no matter how terrifying.”

“The trouble lies with me. I . . .” She stepped through a turn with unconscious grace. “I never imagined I’d be here. And I suppose I’m still trying to come to grips with how my life has changed.”

“Change is an immutable part of life,” he said. “We grow, we evolve, and we learn to look at things from new perspective. And we come to feel differently about things than we did in the past.”

‘What can I do for you, miss?’

‘Lady Hardcastle & I were walking in Combe Woods & we found a man hanging from the old oak in the clearing.’

‘Dead?’

No, I thought to myself, he was in remarkably fine spirits, actually, despite the rope round his neck. His face was purple & his breathing a little . . . absent, but he seemed frightfully well, considering. I decided not to say that. ‘Yes Constable, quite dead.'

“No more leaving weird presents lying about, no more just appearing in my flat. You will arrive tomorrow at 8 p.m. on the dot, on the other side of my front door, and knock like a normal person.”

“Okay,” he replies.

“Good. I expect flowers. Fully assembled, colorful ones would be nice, not just petals strewn everywhere. They may be considered romantic, but all they do is clog up my hoover. Wine is optional.”

"For our last song this evening, here's 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' by Def Leppard. Just make sure to clean up your mess, Ugly Children. We don't want things all sticky." John is trying not to laugh out loud. "I'm Gabe, of course, awaiting your seduction. Like Elvis says, don't be cruel, and I'm back next week right here on KZUK, community radio, 90.3."

John claps. "You are amazing."


L❤️VIN' THIS!!! 😁

Life is just programmed chaos. Everybody starts out on one side, the programmed part. Then chaos happens and our album flips. We get fat or thin, dye our hair & pierce our nose. But those are just our outsides. Our insides are still beautiful, even if we think we're ugly children. I'm Gabe and you're listening to Beautiful Music for Ugly Children on radio 90.3, KZUK. Back next week with more programmed chaos.
