Jazz And Die (2014)
“Maddy had been the target, not me. At least, I thought so. I needed to open my shop and be available for any new clients.
I let the air out of the airbed and put it away in a cupboard. It might come in useful if I ever had another visitor. In no time, all trace of Maddy and Chuck had gone. It took a bit longer to remove Maddy’s presence from the bathroom. She had left half of her cosmetics behind. I put them in a bag and stowed them on an empty shelf in the kitchen. Maybe she would come bac...k one day.I went out of my flat and locked up. For once I felt no waves of vertigo as I walked along the open walkway. It was like a new freedom. I even looked over the rail to check on the wasp. It was still in her parking place. All was well.There was a lot of activity happening on the beach.

Had I missed something?Then I spotted the scaffolding going up at the end of the pier and another big television screen, facing the shore.MoreLess
