The night was drawing in and the house felt more and more like a glass cage, blasting its light blindly out into the dusk like a lantern in the dark. I imagined 1000 moths circling and shivering drawn inexorably to its glow. Only to perish against the cold inhospitable glass. I'm cold. I said to change the subject. Me too. Nina rubbed her arms. Think we can get that stove thing working. Is it gas Melanie knelt in front of it. It's wood. She struggled with a handle and then a door in the front popped open. I've got one a bit similar at home flo. She shouted through to the kitchen. Is it ok? If we light the stove? Yep. Flo yelled back. There's fire lighters on the mantelpiece inside a pot. I'll be through in a tick if you can't work it out. Tom, moved across to the mantelpiece and started peering into the pots but then he stopped, his eyes are arrested by the same site that had stopped me in my tracks earlier. Right? It was the shotgun perched on its wooden pegs just above eye level. Haven't they heard of check off around here? Check off. Said a voice from the hall. It was flo edging through the door with a tray on her hip. The Russian guy, don't worry. It's loaded with blanks. My aunt keeps it for scaring off rabbits. They eat the bulbs and dig up the garden. She shoots at them out of the French windows. It's a bit Texan, isn't it? Tom said he hurried forward to help flo with the tray. You know, not that I don't enjoy the redneck vibe, but having it right there in your face, it's a bit disconcerting for those of us who tend to keep morbid thoughts further at bay. I know what you mean. Flo said. She probably should have a gun cabinet or something. But it was my grandfather's so, it's sort of a family heirloom and the veg patch is right outside these doors. Well, in the summer anyway. So it's just more practical having it to hand.
