I was sitting in my car<\/p>\n
Opposite a rubber factory<\/p>\n
That was above a river<\/p>\n
In my mirror I saw a policewoman coming towards me<\/p>\n
Is this your car sir?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
I have reason to believe that you have been driving it illegally <\/i><\/p>\n
What makes you say that? <\/i><\/p>\n
I saw you drive into this car park<\/i><\/p>\n
This car park used to be a memorial garden to the dead of both wars <\/i><\/p>\n
It is now a car park<\/i><\/p>\n
Can I see your driving licence? <\/i><\/p>\n
I handed the policewoman my driving licence and wondered if she had pubic hair or as with the fashion had shaved her pubic area<\/p>\n
May I ask you a question officer? <\/i><\/p>\n
You are driving illegally sir <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you shave your cunt? <\/i><\/p>\n
Have you ever taken a driving test sir? <\/i><\/p>\n
When I was growing up most women had hairy pubic areas but it seems today that depilation is fashionable <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you realise that you have committed an offence by driving without having passed your test <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you insured?<\/i><\/p>\n
No <\/i><\/p>\n
Is this your car? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
It was reported stolen according to my latest information <\/i><\/p>\n
I was given it when I was a baby <\/i><\/p>\n
Would you please step out of your car sir<\/i><\/p>\n
I stepped out of the car and stood next to the policewoman who to my slight surprise was nearly my height<\/p>\n
What is the most painful thing that has ever happened to you officer? <\/i><\/p>\n
I lost my lover in a car crash six years ago <\/i><\/p>\n
What was her name? <\/i><\/p>\n
Lou<\/i><\/p>\n
Are you still grieving?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Have you ever visited the art gallery in this town? <\/i><\/p>\n
No<\/i><\/p>\n
Then once you have finished with me visit the gallery <\/i><\/p>\n
I am on duty <\/i><\/p>\n
Fuck duty <\/i><\/p>\n
Why should I visit your art gallery? <\/i><\/p>\n
You are still suffering are you not? <\/i><\/p>\n
I am shaven as I find it cleaner and more agreeable when I masturbate <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you read philosophy?<\/i><\/p>\n
No <\/i><\/p>\n
Arthur Schopenhaeur mentioned art and aesthetics more than once in his works <\/i><\/p>\n
We had made love<\/i><\/p>\n
Did you have pubic hair at the time? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes and we had both trimmed our bushes into a heart shape <\/i><\/p>\n
Like Mary Quant <\/i><\/p>\n
It was our declaration of love to each other <\/i><\/p>\n
A temporary way to escape pain is to contemplate aesthetics <\/i><\/p>\n
She died in head on smash just hours later <\/i><\/p>\n
Her pillow was still warm when I returned home that evening <\/i><\/p>\n
Aesthetics allows one to escape the void of despair although this is a temporary experience <\/i><\/p>\n
Is that why art galleries close at night?<\/i><\/p>\n
You jest <\/i><\/p>\n
Music is the purest form of art both Schopenhaeur and Nietzsche both believed this to be true <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you like music?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
Such as<\/i><\/p>\n
Rock and Roll <\/i><\/p>\n
I like dance music<\/i><\/p>\n
Hardcore and that sort of stuff<\/i><\/p>\n
To Schopenhaeur music depicted the will without being subject to the Principle of Sufficient Grounds and was therefore an object in itself <\/i><\/p>\n
Are those your conclusions?<\/i><\/p>\n
No I have stolen them as I am a worthless car thief who has been driving without a licence <\/i><\/p>\n
What is that on your back seat sir? <\/i><\/p>\n
A dead fox<\/i><\/p>\n
How did it die?<\/i><\/p>\n
I ran it over <\/i><\/p>\n
Most drivers leave kill on the roads why did you pick it up?<\/i><\/p>\n
I did not want it to be given a Christian burial <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you an atheist sir?<\/i><\/p>\n
No <\/i><\/p>\n
I love God but I know that man has murdered God and I did not want the fox to experience this pain <\/i><\/p>\n
You are an honourable man sir <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you going to arrest me officer?<\/i><\/p>\n
No <\/i><\/p>\n
Then I will take my leave of you<\/i><\/p>\n
It is not that easy <\/i><\/p>\n
What do you want of me?<\/i><\/p>\n
I want you to come to my residence and keep me company <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you want me to fuck you?<\/i><\/p>\n
No just keep me company <\/i><\/p>\n
And if I refuse <\/i><\/p>\n
Then I will arrest you <\/i><\/p>\n
Leave your car here and come with me <\/i><\/p>\n
What about the fox <\/i><\/p>\n
Throw it into the river <\/i><\/p>\n
But rivers are a Christian symbol <\/i><\/p>\n
Throw it in the river or let it rot it is up to you <\/i><\/p>\n
I picked up the shattered body of the broken fox and threw it into the river<\/p>\n
A number of factory workers watched me do so<\/p>\n
They applauded my action and cast the body of the owner of the factory into the deep river also<\/p>\n
I applauded their actions<\/p>\n
In the afterlife (and there is an afterlife)<\/i> the owner of the factory and the fox became good friends<\/p>\n
That was of great comfort to me as I had murdered God<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I found myself lying on a large bed<\/p>\n
The policewoman was next to me<\/p>\n
We were both naked<\/p>\n
I was awake<\/p>\n
The policewoman was asleep<\/p>\n
I was lying on my back<\/p>\n
The policewoman was lying on her stomach<\/p>\n
I looked at her arse<\/p>\n
It was not a pleasant arse<\/p>\n
It was rather large and showed a good deal of cellulite<\/p>\n
I looked around her room<\/p>\n
It was the room of a grieving policewoman<\/p>\n
On the wall was a photograph of a woman who I assumed to be Lou<\/p>\n
But what disturbed me was the presence of a rather large window which did not look out on to the street but into the house next door<\/p>\n
As far as I could work out the window was positioned at carpet level on the first landing on a staircase in the house<\/p>\n
From my supine vantage I could see the upper landing and at the base of the stairs two doors both open<\/p>\n
After a while a woman descended the stairs and stopped<\/p>\n
She was looking at us<\/p>\n
I tried to cover myself but there was no sheet<\/p>\n
My penis began to stiffen<\/p>\n
This was a weakness of mine<\/p>\n
I did not just drive illegally but was an exhibitionist<\/p>\n
The woman smiled and resumed her journey<\/p>\n
So apart from being an illegal driver you are also an exhibitionist and a voyeur <\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman was facing me<\/p>\n
I looked at her cunt<\/p>\n
It was not shaven indeed she had a large amount of pubic hair that crept slightly on to her thighs<\/p>\n
You said you were shaven<\/i><\/p>\n
I lied <\/i><\/p>\n
Why did you lie?<\/i><\/p>\n
Because you lied to me <\/i><\/p>\n
How did I lie to you? <\/i><\/p>\n
You said that the car was yours when indeed it was stolen also the poor fox that you cast into the river was not dead <\/i><\/p>\n
It was I killed it with my car <\/i><\/p>\n
It was very much alive when you cast it into the river <\/i><\/p>\n
That is why I lied to you <\/i><\/p>\n
The woman who had looked at us through the window returned<\/p>\n
I felt my penis harden once again<\/p>\n
It grew even harder when I realised she was naked<\/p>\n
I watched her as she ascended the stairs<\/p>\n
She is not naked <\/i><\/p>\n
You want her to be naked <\/i><\/p>\n
But she is not naked <\/i><\/p>\n
She is your ideal projection <\/i><\/p>\n
You became erect for no reason <\/i><\/p>\n
I liked the idea that she could see us both naked <\/i><\/p>\n
I am an exhibitionist <\/i><\/p>\n
And a voyeur <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you naked? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Well why did I imagine that the woman the other side of the window was naked and not imagine you naked <\/i><\/p>\n
Because you do not find me attractive I am quite ordinary and I know that <\/i><\/p>\n
The woman behind the window was far more attractive than me <\/i><\/p>\n
Was <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes was <\/i><\/p>\n
Lou <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
There is no house next door <\/i><\/p>\n
I guessed that <\/i><\/p>\n
There is no window <\/i><\/p>\n
It is an extension of my grief <\/i><\/p>\n
Why did I witness it?<\/i><\/p>\n
Because you interrupted my dream <\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman slid out of the bed and walked towards the kitchen table<\/p>\n
As I watched her move around the kitchen I realised that she was indeed a number of pounds overweight<\/p>\n
Her whole body seemed to sag under its own duress<\/p>\n
She lit a cigarette and moved towards the window that overlooked the high street<\/p>\n
Is it eleven yet?<\/i><\/p>\n
Why do you ask?<\/i><\/p>\n
Because each day unless I am on duty I stand here so that two men can masturbate over me <\/i><\/p>\n
They live in apartments six and twenty-eight across the road <\/i><\/p>\n
If they are not there or if any other apartments are occupied I desist with my exposure <\/i><\/p>\n
Are they there today? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes one of them is there <\/i><\/p>\n
Is he masturbating? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
I only stand here as long as it takes me to smoke a cigarette and then I move away from the window <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you touch yourself?<\/i><\/p>\n
No I just smoke a cigarette <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you know these men?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes I have met them both <\/i><\/p>\n
You are very accommodating does it turn you on <\/i><\/p>\n
No <\/i><\/p>\n
Then why do it <\/i><\/p>\n
To give pleasure to them <\/i><\/p>\n
Who are they?<\/i><\/p>\n
One is a twenty-eight year old man called Phillip who suffers from Downs Syndrome <\/i><\/p>\n
He lives with his sister in apartment six <\/i><\/p>\n
But she is a businesswoman who is away quite often <\/i><\/p>\n
She has employed a carer <\/i><\/p>\n
But the carer does not care <\/i><\/p>\n
She is a slut <\/i><\/p>\n
She has named him Cunt and often masturbates in front of him <\/i><\/p>\n
He cannot react as he is confined to a wheelchair <\/i><\/p>\n
He just watches and weeps <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you not upset him by doing to same? <\/i><\/p>\n
I asked you the time <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
You told me it was eleven in the morning <\/i><\/p>\n
It was<\/i><\/p>\n
Well Phillip is still wearing his pyjamas and it is quite easy for him to pull his cock out and smack off over me <\/i><\/p>\n
The carer is always late <\/i><\/p>\n
She does not care <\/i><\/p>\n
Sometimes she does not even change his pyjamas <\/i><\/p>\n
She tells the sister that her brother masturbates frequently <\/i><\/p>\n
The sister believes the lie <\/i><\/p>\n
But I know what is going to happen <\/i><\/p>\n
I removed myself from the bed and sat at the kitchen table<\/p>\n
One day that slut will cause his suicide <\/i><\/p>\n
She will abuse him once too often and he will fade into death <\/i><\/p>\n
I poured myself a coffee<\/p>\n
From the corner of my eye I could see the window that led into the house next door<\/p>\n
Lou was crouching and watching us both<\/p>\n
I felt myself becoming hard again<\/p>\n
But you are a policewoman can you not put a stop to this?<\/i><\/p>\n
What proof have I got?<\/i><\/p>\n
It is not desirable to tease a deficient brain but as far as I can see not illegal <\/i><\/p>\n
But she masturbates in front of him <\/i><\/p>\n
Lou was crouching and watching us both<\/p>\n
She was also urinating on the stairs<\/p>\n
I could see her golden liquid as it splashed against the panes of the internal window<\/p>\n
I touched my aroused penis<\/p>\n
My hand was hot from the heat of my coffee cup and soon my blood\u00a0 began to recede<\/p>\n
I turned my chair slightly as to obscure the internal window<\/p>\n
But I still could hear the flow dripping down the panes<\/p>\n
How can I prove it? <\/i><\/p>\n
All I can do is give him some pleasure <\/i><\/p>\n
One hot day he will topple out of that window and die in agony on the street below <\/i><\/p>\n
The carer will not be blamed <\/i><\/p>\n
She will pretend to be upset <\/i><\/p>\n
It would be put down as a tragic accident <\/i><\/p>\n
But she will not be blamed <\/i><\/p>\n
But I will know the true reasons for Phillip’s suicide <\/i><\/p>\n
He would have killed himself in despair
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
The sister will be secretly glad <\/i><\/p>\n
After the mourning period <\/i><\/p>\n
She will be a free woman <\/i><\/p>\n
The carer will apply to join the police force and she will be accepted <\/i><\/p>\n
Are you the carer?<\/i><\/p>\n
Good question and an obvious one but no I am a different person <\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman joined me at the kitchen table<\/p>\n
She was facing the internal window<\/p>\n
But knew it was not there<\/p>\n
Only I knew that her lover was not dead<\/p>\n
I looked for my clothes<\/p>\n
Where are my clothes <\/i><\/p>\n
I disposed of them <\/i><\/p>\n
Why? <\/i><\/p>\n
You had no need of them <\/i><\/p>\n
I did not answer<\/p>\n
The policewoman smiled at me<\/p>\n
You are thinking about the old man in apartment twenty-eight<\/i><\/p>\n
Today is not his day<\/i><\/p>\n
His mother takes him home twice a week <\/i><\/p>\n
Today is one of those days <\/i><\/p>\n
The apartment in empty <\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was sitting in my car<\/p>\n
Opposite a rubber factory<\/p>\n
That was above a river<\/p>\n
In my mirror I saw a policewoman coming towards me<\/p>\n
Is this your car sir?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
I have reason to believe that you have been driving it illegally <\/i><\/p>\n
What makes you say that? <\/i><\/p>\n
I saw you drive into this car park<\/i><\/p>\n
This car park used to be a memorial garden to the dead of both wars <\/i><\/p>\n
It is now a car park<\/i><\/p>\n
Can I see your driving licence? <\/i><\/p>\n
Am I naked?<\/i><\/p>\n
Should you be?<\/i><\/p>\n
You disposed of my clothes <\/i><\/p>\n
I assure you sir that I did not dispose of your clothes \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
You are fully dressed \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0May I see your driving licence? <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you realise that as a teenager Ludwig Wittgenstein was attracted to Schopenhauer\u2019s epistemological idealism <\/i><\/p>\n
Do you have a driving licence sir?<\/i><\/p>\n
He studied the philosophy of mathematics <\/i><\/p>\n
Please would you show me your driving licence and desist from staring at me <\/i><\/p>\n
He rejected Schopenhauer\u2019s epistemological idealism for Gottlob Frege\u2019s conceptual realism <\/i><\/p>\n
As he grew older Wittgenstein dismissed Schopenhauer as a shallow thinker <\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0Wittgenstein was a homosexual I believe <\/i><\/p>\n
Here is my driving licence<\/i><\/p>\n
I do not like homosexuals <\/i><\/p>\n
You are a homosexual woman <\/i><\/p>\n
There is no such thing <\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman placed my driving licence into her tunic pocket<\/p>\n
You have been driving illegally sir <\/i><\/p>\n
I am aware of that<\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman looked into the rear window of my car<\/p>\n
Why are you carrying a dead fox in your car?<\/i><\/p>\n
Because it wanted to travel the world <\/i><\/p>\n
How did it die?<\/i><\/p>\n
I ran it over <\/i><\/p>\n
Most drivers leave kill on the roads why did you pick it up?<\/i><\/p>\n
Because I killed the fox <\/i><\/p>\n
Most drivers leave kill on the roads why did you pick it up?<\/i><\/p>\n
Because the fox wanted to travel the world <\/i><\/p>\n
In a few short hours the fox will begin the decomposing <\/i><\/p>\n
That will not bother me <\/i><\/p>\n
I will drive with the windows open <\/i><\/p>\n
That is the least I can do <\/i><\/p>\n
Decomposition in any living creature is a crude experience <\/i><\/p>\n
Tell me if you saw a tall mountain and you wanted to see the summit what would you do? <\/i><\/p>\n
If the conditions were correct then I would hire an airplane to fly over the summit of the mountain <\/i><\/p>\n
Would that fulfil you?<\/i><\/p>\n
I think so <\/i><\/p>\n
You would feel no pain only pleasure <\/i><\/p>\n
Why would I want to feel pain?<\/i><\/p>\n
If that was me I would climb the mountain no matter how treacherous it was <\/i><\/p>\n
Why <\/i><\/p>\n
To feel the ultimate pleasure and happiness one must feel pain<\/i><\/p>\n
Otherwise it is an empty experience<\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman opened her tunic pocket and handed me my driving licence<\/p>\n
Wittgenstein was a homosexual I believe <\/i><\/p>\n
Here is your driving licence sir <\/i><\/p>\n
I do not like homosexuals <\/i><\/p>\n
You are a homosexual woman <\/i><\/p>\n
There is no such thing<\/i><\/p>\n
All women are bisexual <\/i><\/p>\n
That is a proven fact <\/i><\/p>\n
So lesbians are just bisexual <\/i><\/p>\n
No I did not say that <\/i><\/p>\n
Lesbians are men but for the most part they are harmless <\/i><\/p>\n
So you are saying that homosexuals are different <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Why? <\/i><\/p>\n
Well it comes down to the gender I suppose <\/i><\/p>\n
On the whole women are gentle caring creatures whereas men throughout history have been the hunter-gatherers <\/i><\/p>\n
It is a character defect in both genders but far more dangerous in men <\/i><\/p>\n
But what about bisexual men?<\/i><\/p>\n
There is no such animal <\/i><\/p>\n
So you are saying to me that most women are bisexual if they only admitted it to themselves but men are either heterosexual or homosexual <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
It is down to gender <\/i><\/p>\n
That is a male fantasy <\/i><\/p>\n
Two women together <\/i><\/p>\n
Given I agree with you <\/i><\/p>\n
But homosexuality is a character weakness a character defect\u00a0 <\/i><\/p>\n
I am a lesbian <\/i><\/p>\n
You are not a lesbian <\/i><\/p>\n
Have you slept with men?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
How many? <\/i><\/p>\n
I have not counted them <\/i><\/p>\n
Give a rough guess <\/i><\/p>\n
About eight <\/i><\/p>\n
Did you enjoy the experience? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
Given that Lou is now dead would you fuck a man again?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
You have answered your own question no matter how deep your relationship was with Lou it was not a lesbian relationship <\/i><\/p>\n
If she had not died we would still be together <\/i><\/p>\n
She was a perfect creature <\/i><\/p>\n
Did you fuck men during your time with Lou?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
Did she fuck men? <\/i><\/p>\n
I believe so <\/i><\/p>\n
Why <\/i><\/p>\n
I am not sure <\/i><\/p>\n
We were considering marriage <\/i><\/p>\n
Marriage is a social institution <\/i><\/p>\n
Homosexual marriage is social vandalism <\/i><\/p>\n
God does not approve of homosexual marriage <\/i><\/p>\n
You told me that God is now dead <\/i><\/p>\n
I know I killed him<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
I was back in the policewoman\u2019s room and was still sitting at the table.<\/p>\n
The dead lover of the policewoman was fellating me under the table<\/p>\n
The policewoman was standing at the window smoking a cigarette<\/p>\n
The old man is in his apartment <\/i><\/p>\n
You dead lover is fellating me <\/i><\/p>\n
Nobody is fellating you <\/i><\/p>\n
It is your fantasy <\/i><\/p>\n
Even though you find me unattractive my exhibitionism id turning you on <\/i><\/p>\n
I looked under the table<\/p>\n
There was nobody there<\/p>\n
Is the old man masturbating? <\/i><\/p>\n
No he is too frail to masturbate <\/i><\/p>\n
Then why are you standing there? <\/i><\/p>\n
His sister is masturbating him <\/i><\/p>\n
This is his last day<\/i><\/p>\n
The old man is dying <\/i><\/p>\n
It is her last gift to him <\/i><\/p>\n
By this time tomorrow he will know if God exists or not <\/i><\/p>\n
He will have an advantage over you and me <\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman smiled and sat on the bed<\/p>\n
It is all over now <\/i><\/p>\n
What about his sister <\/i><\/p>\n
She will get over it <\/i><\/p>\n
She is obsessed with her brother and his happiness <\/i><\/p>\n
Like Nietzsche\u2019s sister Elisabeth <\/i><\/p>\n
Hers was a gentle love <\/i><\/p>\n
Elisabeth\u2019s was different she had a different agenda <\/i><\/p>\n
The old man\u2019s sister has no agenda<\/i><\/p>\n
It was pure love <\/i><\/p>\n
What did she think of your exhibition?<\/i><\/p>\n
She appreciated my contribution <\/i><\/p>\n
I felt that I was being fellated again and saw Lou\u2019s head between my thighs<\/p>\n
How did you know that? <\/i><\/p>\n
She told me so<\/i><\/p>\n
We exchanged Christmas cards <\/i><\/p>\n
God is dead <\/i><\/p>\n
How do you know that God is dead? <\/i><\/p>\n
Because I murdered him<\/i><\/p>\n
Suddenly I felt a terribly pain<\/p>\n
Lou had bitten my penis<\/p>\n
I screamed out in pain<\/p>\n
But the policewoman did not notice my distress<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was sitting in my car<\/p>\n
Opposite a rubber factory<\/p>\n
That was above a river<\/p>\n
In my mirror I saw a policewoman coming towards me<\/p>\n
Is this your car sir?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
I have reason to believe that you have been driving it illegally <\/i><\/p>\n
What makes you say that? <\/i><\/p>\n
I saw you drive into this car park<\/i><\/p>\n
This car park used to be a memorial garden to the dead of both wars <\/i><\/p>\n
It is now a car park<\/i><\/p>\n
Can I see your driving licence? <\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was sitting in my car<\/p>\n
Opposite a rubber factory<\/p>\n
That was above a river<\/p>\n
In my mirror I saw a policewoman coming towards me<\/p>\n
Is this your car sir?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes<\/i><\/p>\n
May I see your driving licence<\/i><\/p>\n
Of course \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i>The policewoman inspected my driving licence and handed it back to me<\/p>\n
This car park used to be a memorial garden to the dead of both wars <\/i><\/p>\n
It is now a car park<\/i><\/p>\n
Are you visiting this town as I notice that your accent is not local? <\/i><\/p>\n
You are right I am from miles away <\/i><\/p>\n
I was going to pass your lovely town but unfortunately I hit a fox and killed it <\/i><\/p>\n
I did not want to leave it in the road so I took a detour and was looking to bury it near the river <\/i><\/p>\n
So you have visited this town before <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes on occasions <\/i><\/p>\n
The policewoman looked at the corpse of the fox which was stretched out in death on a blanket<\/p>\n
I have very little occasion to use my back seat but today it has been of use<\/i><\/p>\n
What a beautiful creature <\/i><\/p>\n
I agree <\/i><\/p>\n
When I was a child in this town we used to bury all the dead creatures we found under the trees to the left of the library <\/i><\/p>\n
I think that would be an acceptable resting place for the fox <\/i><\/p>\n
Thank you I will purchase a spade and bury the creature <\/i><\/p>\n
By the time I had buried the fox I found that it was nearly five in the afternoon so I chose to spend the night in the town<\/p>\n
The main hotel was called The Swan and I chose a room with a view of the main bridge<\/p>\n
I rested for a while and caught up with my paperwork before showering<\/p>\n
As I approached the restaurant I noticed that the policewoman was at the bar ordering drinks<\/p>\n
Small world <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes it is <\/i><\/p>\n
I decided to spend the night in the town <\/i><\/p>\n
The Swan is a splendid hotel <\/i><\/p>\n
Lou and I are planning to hold our reception here on Saturday <\/i><\/p>\n
Your reception? <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes we are getting married on Saturday <\/i><\/p>\n
Congratulations <\/i><\/p>\n
Although I did not see her at first a smaller woman joined us at the bar<\/p>\n
She was attractive but not in conventional way with busy eyes and rather unkempt hair<\/p>\n
I do not know your name <\/i><\/p>\n
Martin my name is Martin <\/i><\/p>\n
Martin this is Lou <\/i><\/p>\n
She has agreed to become my wife on Saturday <\/i><\/p>\n
Lou stepped forward and shook my hand<\/p>\n
The policewoman realising that she had not formally introduced herself also shook my hand<\/p>\n
Sorry this was remiss of me my name is Salome <\/i><\/p>\n
May I buy you both a drink to celebrate the great day? <\/i><\/p>\n
I was invited back to the table where the women were dining<\/p>\n
Although they tried to hide their emotions I could see their excitement<\/p>\n
Did you bury the fox under the trees?<\/i><\/p>\n
Yes it is a beautiful place <\/i><\/p>\n
Lou gave Salome a look of recognition<\/p>\n
Sadly Martin killed a fox and decided to bury it in our town <\/i><\/p>\n
We ate our meal together although I offered to be excused<\/p>\n
Neither of the women would hear of it and we engaged in small talk which was too trivial to record<\/p>\n
It was as I was leaving that Salome touched my hand<\/p>\n
Martin would you do something for us both <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes it would be a pleasure <\/i><\/p>\n
As I answered both women removed the pendants from around their necks<\/p>\n
Both were handed to me<\/p>\n
As you can see the glass lockets contains hair <\/i><\/p>\n
It is our pubic hair <\/i><\/p>\n
We exchanged these lockets after our first night together <\/i><\/p>\n
But now as we are going to marry their use is complete<\/i><\/p>\n
Would you keep them for us until we meet again?<\/i><\/p>\n
One day one us will lose the other and will suffer great pain <\/i><\/p>\n
But through this pain there will be life again<\/i><\/p>\n
When this happens the surviving partner will contact you <\/i><\/p>\n
I may be dead also <\/i><\/p>\n
I know that you will make plans <\/i><\/p>\n
How will you know where to find me?<\/i><\/p>\n
That is the easy part <\/i><\/p>\n
The locket with the lighter hair is mine and the locket with the slightly darker hair is Lou\u2019s please keep them safe <\/i><\/p>\n
Keep the lockets under lock and key or in a bank safety box if you like but they must be kept safe <\/i><\/p>\n
I understand I will choose the position with great care <\/i><\/p>\n
Thank you it means a lot to both of us <\/i><\/p>\n
I left the table and both women kissed me on my cheek<\/p>\n
I placed the lockets in my jacket pocket but did not vacate the bar<\/p>\n
Both women followed me<\/p>\n
Why did you check my licence earlier? <\/i><\/p>\n
It was part of a police initiative to clamp down on illegal drivers <\/i><\/p>\n
Did I look illegal?<\/i><\/p>\n
No such thing <\/i><\/p>\n
I knew that you were the right person as soon as I met you <\/i><\/p>\n
Instinct told me so<\/i><\/p>\n
To take care of your lockets <\/i><\/p>\n
Yes <\/i><\/p>\n
You have not answered this question <\/i><\/p>\n
What was your question?<\/i><\/p>\n
Let\u2019s say fifty years pass by and one of you dies <\/i><\/p>\n
How would you know where to find me? <\/i><\/p>\n
That is the easy part <\/i><\/p>\n
I could be on the other side of the world <\/i><\/p>\n
It would be difficult to locate me <\/i><\/p>\n
No it would be the easiest task <\/i><\/p>\n
Explain <\/i><\/p>\n
I would just ask the first person I found of your location <\/i><\/p>\n
They would most likely be ignorant of me <\/i><\/p>\n
They would not be ignorant of the man who murdered God <\/i><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n
I found myself lying on a large bed<\/p>\n
The policewoman was next to me<\/p>\n
We were both naked<\/p>\n
I was awake<\/p>\n
The policewoman was also awake<\/p>\n
I was lying on my back<\/p>\n
The policewoman was lying on her stomach<\/p>\n
So you found me <\/i><\/p>\n
That was the easy part after Lou\u2019s death<\/i><\/p>\n
I just asked the first person I found of your location <\/i><\/p>\n
They would have been ignorant of me <\/i><\/p>\n
They were not ignorant of the man who murdered God <\/i><\/p>\n
I found you quite easily and here we are occurring again <\/i><\/p>\n
