it may have been a lizard
or the shadow of a buzzard
I never saw either again
surprise
I sniffed
I sniffed. Strange. I sniffed again. Hmm. Behind me, the gorilla sniffed louder.
The sound behind him
The sound came from behind him. And it was then he realised what that strange smell was, the strange smell in his bedroom. Gorilla.

Present
Al’s lover gave him a heart monitor to wear in bed. It always sounded. The last time it covered the sound of her husband’s key.
Drop
Even so many years later, if I ever drop a raisin, as I bend to pick it up I see the snake slide silent out from under the cupboard….
Revisited
The door swung open; and closed with a wooden clatter. My mouth opened and closed with a click of large teeth. Not again. No.
