A Liverpool Song
“Andrew visited repeatedly a shrunken, silent mother in a psychiatric facility that catered for all kinds of people wrecked by overwork, by society in general, or even by their own families. He talked to Emily in spite of the lack of response, steeling himself against screams and groans that travelled up corridors to invade all wards along the route. The place was a nightmare, yet she seemed settled. Well, she was quiet, and that was some improvement, because the sounds she had produced a couple... of years earlier had been unearthly.
His lovely, once-fragrant mother did not belong here. She was ageing, and he hated that. The application of pine disinfectant and polish did little to cover the smell of dried urine and overcooked vegetable matter. Even curtains that hung round beds were limp, lifeless and depressed. Staff wandered about clanking like Scrooge’s ghosts, great key chains hanging from their belts, as they had to unlock then lock every door as they made their way through an institution that contained some dangerous people.MoreLess
