Somewhere in the dark, the phone kept ringing.

Sharon drifted through the house, and out the other side, into the enclosed crescent of the small estate. She wandered past the community hall, where ten men and one token female practised a martial art with great heavy sticks held in either hand, and the shadows of what they wanted it to be – glorious, powerful, and physically just a little improbable – danced at their feet as they moved through the rhythms. Still the phone kept ringing.

She wandered past silent patches of wannabe garden turned to must-always-be weed, beneath the arch that sealed off the small parking area for those rich enough to afford such a luxury, and rounded a corner where the graffiti blazed on the wall, to see a small phone box. The glass panels on one side were smashed, and the debris glimmered like frozen diamonds on the ground. A dozen cards offering illicit services cooed and sang at Sharon from the walls, the images coming to life as she approached, women pouting, writhing, calling and crying quietly from the card. A single dull white bulb flickered, brighter than the shadow of the dream walk, calling her closer.
