BLOOD

He has already cycled over one hundred kilometres when he sees it glistening on the roadside. As he whizzes past he realises what he has seen is a blade, a knife. He cycles another hundred metres or so then stops. He must do the right thing. He rides back, close to the verge to avoid any oncoming traffic. And there it is: a long kitchen knife, with what looks like dried blood on its tip. He doesn’t touch it. He dials triple zero on his mobile phone.

‘There is a knife,’ he says, ‘on the roadside.’

The police officer asks him for the location. He spots a road sign.

‘Between Marshall station and the junction of Grubb Road,’ he says. ‘On the left-hand side.’

‘Wait there,’ says the policeman.

‘I’d rather not,’ he says. ‘I’m meeting my wife.’

‘Be better if you do,’ the other replies.

But he cycles off, sure that he has done enough of his civic duty. An hour later his phone rings and another policeman asks his name and says: ‘Why didn’t you wait?’
