24 hour Tesco ...

I slipped out of the silent house before breakfast - my dad was upstairs, reading one of his reminder notes - 

In next door's back garden there were figurines of meerkats - 

I walked past The Prince of Wales - 

Small dark birds were perched upon the topmost twigs of a leafless tree - 

Parked cars filled the narrow street - a wild eyed boy sipped a caffeine drink from a lurid can - 

The 24 hours Tesco was like the spaceport I'd seen on the cover of a foxed Weird Tales - 

I was soon bathed in strange light - pale custodians spoke to me in hushed voices -
