The train hurtled past a cluster of industrial buildings only a shade darker than the sky. I thought of the patient returned to his asylum, and imagined the sound of different bells jangling in and out of tune, and of clocks attempting to realign their ticks and their tocks, preferring to imagine only non-human sounds, exercises in futility like trying to light a cigarette without cupping it from the wind. I wished we hadn’t sent him back. Next to me Jane thumbed through a magazine, occasionally humming a tune to herself, one I didn’t recognise, and only once did she look up, to show me a picture of a woollen black cape, saying they were coming back into fashion that winter. When we reached Euston station she asked whether I’d mind bringing her bag home and promptly jumped on a bus to Camden to go check on Lucian.

A moth flew past my face almost as soon as I entered the flat, safe, so far, from the deadly strips lying in wait. I clutched half-heartedly at the air, aware it’d already flown off, and headed to my room, where my landscapes were waiting in the dark.
