Sleepless in Suburbia
Rum and Cocoa
For the second
night running, 2 am found me gazing through the window of our front bedroom. On
cue, Foxy followed his usual staccato route: darting; pausing; sniffing. He
doesn’t like our chippings and is even less fond of the Pick Up which occupies
four fifths of the driveway. As he passes, a black shape slithers backwards,
beneath the Astra opposite. Once the brush has rounded the corner, Katy
emerges. Arches her back, shudders and strolls nonchalantly across; taking up
station alongside a rear wheel of the Nissan. Foxy sometimes retraces his
steps, within minutes. Katy may know why.
