Hubris: Chapter Four

Chapter Four: The Night Air The barn door creaked while closing behind him and Algernon took a deep breath of the crisp, cold September air. Ever since he slapped Gallinger a few minutes before his hands had been trembling slightly so he steadied them by putting them in the pockets of his trousers. From inside the barn his prisoner has stopped shouting epithets and gone silent, no doubt trying to figure a way out of his bonds instead. Algernon stood still for a while listening to the sounds of the night, the cricket’s singing and the wind through the long grass. He couldn’t recall the last time he had taken notice of either o

With shaking hands, he searched the wall for crevices wide enough to put a finger through. The husks of dead woodlice, dirt and small pieces of shattered rocks came pouring out of the holes as he cleaned them out thoroughly one by one. With the Dreadfort’s old and worn dungeon walls it was an endless undertaking - one he regretted not having thought of sooner - with no aim to it other than passing the time and keeping his mind off what the coming evening and possibly night had in store for him. The Kraken had told him that something was to happen then, something he would probably not care for and that was enough for Ramsay to dread the guards’ rotation which in his windowless confinement was his only way of telling what time of day it was.

Chapter two: The Wall Amelia’s Bistro, Jersey City, New Jersey 1962 “Tommy?” Reluctantly he turns his attention from the salt-water aquarium filled with exotic fish and colourful anemones to his mother. Marilina Longo, age 35, is a short, sturdy woman with smooth skin and thick, curly black hair. Tonight she is wearing pumps, a short skirt and a blouse that presses her breasts together and highlights her cleavage. Her eyeshadow is sky blue, her lipstick an angry red. “Don’t disturb the fish, ok figlio? You can’t drum on the glass that way, it scares them.” He gives the glass one final tap with h
