Hospitals and nurses that ask about recreational drug use when your mother leaves the room. Finding money in your bank account and buying things you don't want or need. Wondering where it was that your health went under. Drinking coke from a Thomas the Tank Engine beaker and spilling it on your only clean duvet. Driving in the sunshine to a pier underneath a railway bridge. Sitting on concrete slabs behind the house while the others paint. Staying up late at night and falling in love with the voice on the other end of the phone.
It's always the other end of the phone.
