Almost forgot this one...
It was a hot summers day. It was a hot summer full-stop. The tarmac stuck to my shoes as I crossed Hetherington Lane. I suppose the tarmac stuck to Wilson's shoes as well, he had misplaced his teflon soled pair a few days previously. Wilson and I had very little idea of where we were, though later investigation on google earth revealed us to be closer to New York than Mars.

Wilson lit up a cigarette. I had rolled it 12 minutes and 3 seconds previously, and it's time in my associates pocket had earned it a kink and a somewhat battered appearance. Wilson didn't care.

We stopped outside a red door.
"We live here now." Said Wilson
"That’s a shop," I reminded him. We moved on to the next door, this one a shade of green that reminded me of mojitos on the Riviera.
"We live here now."
"Yeah, alright," said I.

My suit was revealed to be quite dusty when bathed in the artificial light of the house. The whole abode was dusty. Wilson pulled a tangerine from his pocket, and began feeding it segment by segment to the small pine marten that lived in the curtains.

"The Millau Viaduct in France has collapsed, 96 have been confirmed dead. French police have yet to release a statement to disclaim the notion that the bridge was intentionally sabotaged." Shouted the wireless.

I turned to Wilson.

He gave an enigmatic smile I couldn't decipher.

Then he stroked the pine marten tenderly and I knew. Oh I knew.

The cigar fell from my mouth.

The tangerine fell from his hand.

I knew.

Then the soft shite only went and ironed his pants WHILE WEARING THEM. He's still got the scar. Tit.

Oh I knew. I knew it all.

Agreed.
A worthwhile diversion for a few brief moments.
