The Story of Tom Brennan
“Saturday, Dad drove Gran up to Aralen to see Fin while Brendan and Mum went to visit Daniel on their own. It suited me 'cause Kylie was at Brianna's and that meant I could leave the cave and have the house to myself.
I played a bit of PS2 but just couldn't get into it. I switched the TV on and off but there was nothing to watch. I went through the fridge 500 times in case there was something I felt like eating. But mostly what I did was pick up and put down the phone.
Finally I flopped onto the... couch with the receiver in my hand. I hadn't answered Matt's emails. Too much to say and yet nothing to say. Maybe I wasn't an email sort of bloke.
I pressed the phone. The dial tone buzzed in my ear. I switched it off and pressed the earpiece against my forehead as I tried to think straight.

My fingers kneaded the skin on my forehead.MoreLess
