As soon as I saw the guy come out
of the White House hotel I recognised him, it had been a long long while but I definitely
remembered him.
A bit creepy with body language
you somehow can’t interpret and laughing at inappropriate times was what I
recalled most about him.
He got in the cab without making eye contact
and mumbled his destination and so we set of for Askam which is about six miles
away.
Not seen you for a long while I said, must be
twelve or fifteen years maybe eh?
Have you moved away or something
I asked.
Without looking at me, he said, “No I’ve been
in prison for a long while “without thinking it I stupidly said oh aye! What
for?
” MURDER” he casually, replied.
There was an awkward silence for
a while with me frantically racking my brain for a safer subject
How’s your father then not seen
him for a while I asked?
It was him I was in jail for
killing he said without looking up from playing with his phone.
Rest of the now long long journey
in total silence.
