IT’S ALMOST SEVEN, time for him to go inside. Cory has not been able to find a slow worm. Nothing slithery anywhere. The lady is going to be unhappy, and Cory knows if he doesn’t get one it will be a bad night. Not even a slug. Where had they all gone? No insects, no reptiles, nothing useful.

“Cory!”

His mummy is calling. Time up. Cory is shaking, feels like crying and he takes a few minutes to control himself. Then he runs in.

HE HOLDS ADRIENNE tight and shivers. His eyes are squeezed shut, but from time to time he peeks.

The man is right there. The man has tied a rope around his neck. His face is darker than the rest of him and fixed in a single expression, like he’s hurting. He wears no clothes and there is dark liquid leaking from his mouth. His eyes bulge out of his skull, and he’s done a poo and a wee. Cory does not keep his eyes open long enough to see it, but he can smell it. He knows the smell of poo and wee very well.

The man doesn’t do anything, but he stands close to the bed. Those large eyes are rolled upwards, so at least the man doesn’t stare. But he breathes. He has a raspy sound with occasional gurgles. At times Cory thinks he is trying to speak, but can’t.

Adrienne does not see him. Adrienne thinks Cory has nightmares and hugs him.

The man stays until dawn. As light forms outside the window, the man disappears.

Cory himself feels he has to wee, but he is too frightened to get up.
