“What a nutter,” said the woman beside her on the bench, stabbing a plastic fork into a pasta-pot before drawing both fork and container as close to her mouth as she could.
“BE SOMEONE’S LIGHT AND BANISH THEIR DARKNESS!” screamed the preacher.
No, Esmee thought, sliding her hand into her pocket, playing in the darkness was much more fun.
