Tales From The Town #129: And the apples are all dead at the bottom of their trees

Apples rotting beneath the trees. Teardrop jewelled spider’s webs on the washing line. And in the distance ships lost in the fog out at sea.

Autumn was here, and not even Claire declaring that there’s no such thing as ghost ships could spoil Agnes’s mood.

Tales From The Town #128: The Diving Pool Incident

Frozen in place at the end of the board, too scared to jump, too embarrassed to turn back.

In years to come it would feel like this moment encompassed two thirds of Tina’s childhood rather than approximately forty five seconds one Saturday afternoon when she was eight.

Tales From The Town #127: Projection

It was the greatest story ever told. Love, death, heroism, villainy, selflessness, satisfaction. Even a joke now and then, and some dancing too. Everything was up there on the screen, depths and layers you could stare into and see whatever it was you wanted to, needed to, hoped to, dared to, like a magic mirror, or a wishing pool, or an old album full of photos redolent of things greater than were ever really true at the time.

The projector caught fire half an hour in and no one ever saw the end.
