Back in the caravan he drew all his curtains, then sat at his table. He went over the conversation with Sylvie in his head; she seemed so interested in his job. He dwelled on her voice, the strange way she pronounced her words. How she slowly drew out the letter 'r'. He imagined what it would sound like if she were to gently whisper his name. Rubble, Rubble, Rubble.

Getting up, he went into his bedroom and carefully removed the picture of her from his wall. He carried it back to his table and propped it up against the drawn curtains. Then he went to his fridge and removed the small chicken he'd plucked earlier that day. He placed it on the edge of the table, severed neck pointing towards Sylvie's image, other end towards him. The hole at its rear gaped where he'd scooped out its giblets. Keeping his eyes fixed on the picture before him, he unbuckled his overalls and let them drop around his ankles. Then he freed himself from his grey underpants and pulled the chicken toward him. Once inside, he began sliding the dead bird back and forth, murmuring, 'Sylvie, Sylvie, Sylvie.'
