“I dream about the roundabout.
Now, Mr Haskell, my psychology teacher, would say this had implications. That somehow my fear of the roundabout is linked to my issues with Anthony, which are both many and complicated. Mr Haskell has a certain way he says things like this, leaning over with both elbows balanced on his lectern. It’s very unsettling, as if he can see deep into your soul. But the truth is I was scared of the roundabout before I even met Anthony.
Most towns have those most modern of inventions, traffic lights, to deal with traffic. Not here. Instead, some genius decided however many years ago to put in instead this big circle with all the main roads feeding into it, then sat back to watch people crash to their deaths as they attempted to negotiate it.
But I digress.
My first experience with the roundabout was when I was about seven. We’d just moved to town so that my father could finally finish his dissertation. My mother and I were on our way to the grocery store when we su...ddenly came up on this big sign that said YIELD with an arrow pointing to the right.MoreLess
