This is Not a Love Story
“There are too many for the police to move on, although they will have tried. Beyond them the underpasses turn into the tunnels.
I am disconnected from my body, unaware, as I weave my way between the sleeping forms and run into the dark. I’m not scared anymore, even though this is the place where I pushed Cricket into the fire and burned my hands, even though Cricket is probably still here somewhere. I don’t care. I just need to find Pasha.
There are few fires burning at the center of the tunnel...s, and it is dark and cold. My footsteps splash through the black water, and the sounds echo on around me as I run through the vast, unlit space. I don’t know where I’m going. Pasha will be with Roxy, and Roxy will be… where?
I stop, staring around at all the boxes and blankets and sagging tarpaulin shelters, listening to the sounds of fitful sleep, the coughing, the moans. I can’t take it. This is my life, and at the same time, it’s not anymore.
Taking myself by surprise, I crouch down and shake the blanket-wrapped body nearest to me.MoreLess
