MRS J Iâm walking down the street and thereâs a door in the fence open and inside are three women Iâve seen before.
VI Donât look now but thereâs someone watching us.
LENA Is it that woman?
SALLY Is that you, Mrs Jarrett?
MRS J So I go in.
SALLY Rosie locked out in the rain
VI forgot her key
SALLY climbed over
LENA lucky to have neighbours who
SALLY such a high wall
VI this is Rosie her granddaughter
MRS J Iâve a son, Frank
VI Iâve a son
MRS J suffers from insomnia
VI doesnât come very often. But Thomas
LENA thatâs her nephew
SALLY heâd knock up the shelves in no time
VI a big table
SALLY grain of the wood
VI a table like that would last a lifetime
SALLY an heirloom
LENA except we all eat off our laps
MRS J nothing like a table
LENA I like a table
VI all have each otherâs keys because thereâs no way round and anyway I couldnât climb
MRS J unless you lose them
VI no I hang them all on a nail
SALLY in a teapot
VI teapot?
SALLY Elsie puts them in and takes them out
LENA down the floorboards
VI only use bags in mugs
SALLY holds your finger and then takes one step and down she goes.
LENA Barney never out of his phone
VI Iâd have been the same
LENA looking pale
VI whole worlds in your pocket
LENA little bit worried about Kevin and Mary, never hear an endearment
SALLY but nobody ever knows
MRS J youâd be surprised what goes on
LENA twenty years in June
VI we had to wear hats
SALLY a pink one and I didnât
VI so you gave it to Angela
SALLY Iâd forgotten Angela
LENA shadows under her eyes
VI ended up with a green one and it didnât suit you
LENA I could never say a word of course.
VI And Maisie, never so happy
LENA thatâs her niece
SALLY quantum
VI I canât really follow
SALLY I canât even add up
LENA they donât add up any more
VI particles and waves I can manage but after that
SALLY always good at sums as a child, sheâd say two big numbers
VI and while we were carrying things in our head
LENA I needed a pencil
SALLY sheâd say the answer and it was always right
MRS J I could always make change quick with the shillings and pence
VI weâd be the ones got it wrong
LENA easier now itâs decimal
SALLY always right.
LENA And Vera
MRS J Four hundred thousand tons of rock paid for by senior executives split off the hillside to smash through the roofs, each fragment onto the designated childâs head. Villages were buried and new communities of survivors underground developed skills of feeding off the dead where possible and communicating with taps and groans. Instant celebrities rose on ropes to the light of flashes. Time passed. Rats were eaten by those who still had digestive systems, and mushrooms were traded for urine. Babies were born and quickly became blind. Some groups lost their sexuality while others developed a new morality of constant fucking with any proximate body. A young woman crawling from one society to the other became wedged, only her head reaching her new companions. Stories of those above ground were told and retold till there were myths of the husband who cooked feasts, the wife who swam the ocean, the gay lover who could fly, the child who read minds, the talking dog. Prayers were said to them and various sects developed with tolerance and bitter hatred. Songs were sung until dry throats caused the end of speech. Torrential rain leaked through cracks and flooded the tunnels enabling screams at last before drownings. Survivors were now solitary and went insane at different rates.
