It was a necessity. I could not afford it. Time passed and through the pay scale I rose. One day I could afford the RING and from that all that followed.

Rain falling over slate grey town. Dealing with idiots dumbs me down. Walking in the dark morning the same as the past.

Steel rails flash past. Nothing moves.

Starlings swarm in the growing gloom like iron filings tipped across the sky.

The cold air of Crewe railway station, platform eight, suffocates the lonely. Isolated couples consolidate heat in a loving embrace. Christ it’s grim. A graveyard to steam.
