The Short Walk Home

Hi! It’s me. I’ve switched off share location cos I’m only on 13%. I’ll call you when I get in. Thanks for a great night. My gut hurts so much I can barely walk straight. Could be the wine, yes. Same again next Saturday? Girls night in or out? You’re are so on!

Hiya! Just wanted to let you know, I’m walking back now. Should be home in 15. Can you put the kettle on? Maybe the oven too? It won’t suit you, ha ha.

Hi Mum, sorry I didn’t get a chance to call today. Are you doing ok? Look, try not to worry. It’ll be fine. I promise. I’ll be there Thursday after work and we’ll sort it out together, yeah?

Hey you! Are we still meeting tomorrow? I’m looking forward to seeing you too. Can you bring my cardigan with you? I left it at yours. Turquoise polkadots! Hey, wanna keep me company while I walk? The main road’s quiet as hell. It’s like Covid all over again. Is there another curfew on, I can’t keep track? I can see the flats now so it won’t be long ‘til I’m back in the land of humans. Ah, I see one now, it’s a policeman. I should have worn black not hi viz orange. He’s got a badge. Looks official. God, tell me I haven’t broken any bloody lockdown rules. Ok, see you… Love you… ’Til tomorrow… Gotta go… Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye…
