![]() The people in the town may say ‘Oh, he’s not all there, you know,’ but that’s just their little joke (and sometimes, to rub it in, they don’t point to their heads as they say it) I don’t mind. I don’t go giving people presents of burning dogs, or frighten the local toddlers with handfuls of maggots and mouthfuls of worms. I don’t bother people and they had best not bother me if they know what’s good for them. There wouldn’t be much point to me getting married perhaps - I’ll admit that - but the principle is there.īesides, I’m not Eric I’m me and I’m here and that’s all there is to it. Here in Scotland I’m old enough to get married without my parent’s permission, and have been for a year. Once, that sort of talk would have scared me, but not now. ‘Sometimes I think you’re the one who should be in the hospital, not Eric.’ He was looking at me from under his dark brows, his voice low. You can’t explain that sort of thing to people, though. How the hell am I supposed to get heads and bodies for the Poles and the Bunker if I don’t kill things? There just aren’t enough natural deaths. ![]() ![]() ‘I hope you weren’t out killing any of God’s creatures.’ ![]()
