Hidden Depths
“Vera woke up as she always seemed to these days with a faint hangover, a sense that she hadn’t slept properly. Her window was open and her neighbours’ cockerel was drowning out every other sound, seemed to be living somewhere just behind her eyes. She realized she was an object of curiosity to the couple who owned the smallholding. They’d moved from the city and had made an effort to get on with her, had this ridiculous notion that country people had a wisdom about nature, saw it as almost myst...ical. Then they found out Vera was police and she could tell they thought they should disapprove. They’d gone on marches, saw the police as the enemy. Vera didn’t bother one way or the other. Except occasionally she dreamed about strangling the cockerel.
