A crow flapped its wings over her head and from somewhere deep in the wood there was the sound of cawing. Surely the trees were denser? Why were they so familiar? Then Lucy realized they were a reminder of times past that she hadn’t thought about in years. Twice she had got lost in the woods at the back of Claygate Common. Twice she had been sure she would not be able to get home. And, on the second occasion, she had seen the boy walking towards her, his penis hanging out of his trousers. She had run and run until she was lost, dashing about in a breathless panic. The boy had been about her own age and there was a look in his eyes that she had known was dangerous.

Eventually Lucy had emerged from the woods on to the main road. She went home the long way round, but when she arrived her father was not there. In fact he returned a few minutes later, having gone to buy some cigarettes, but in her panicky mind he had gone for good, leaving her to the boy with his penis hanging out.

Lucy had never walked in those woods again, but whenever she looked at them she didn’t think so much of the boy but her terror of being left alone.

Now the worst had happened. Her father was dead. Tim was missing. She was alone. Instead of the sex-hungry boy there was Solange. And she apparently still held a fragment of check shirt. But Tim had one of those.
