“Posh Cal comes from the countryside and tells stories about the woods. These old hunty blokes who live in the forest and cut people and burn them on big bonfires with all the brambles and bracken and smoky shit so nobody knows, grind the bones into pig lunch. Shiny leather high heels and kids' toys in the wood like props from ITV murder dramas, scared people running through bracken and brambles, trying to get to the safety of the big house but the big house isn't safe, it's fully stocked with violent, frustrated young male offenders, lying awake, nightsweats in the dark Last Chance, marinating their desire to hurt people night after night in their soupy rural overlapping dreams, bad young men, blast-past-borstal bastards, lab rats, lying there while crusty ghosts from the old house crouch over them dribbling fear and violent fantasy into their ears, drip, spittle, trickle in the middle of the mean old witchy littered English woods a long way from home, a long way from any lights or cab ranks, or trust, or mums. Haha, crack on, you fuckintwat, says Shy, and starts walking again, slight shivers in his belly.”

“Don't let the errors or terrors of the past or any fear you might have about them in the here and now, spoil today, tomorrow - or even one more second of your life. Just don't! Don't worry about them! Don't commiserate about them! Don't dwell on them! Don't beat yourself (or anyone else!) up about them! Don't hold grudges over them! Let them go, and accept that each new day, each hour even - is actually, in many ways, independent of the last. What a gift! Embrace it! Learn to be grateful for this miracle of life!”
