Turn back the page.

Tunes in my head: Incubus by Marillion
Atmosphere: Depressed


It's amazing what things can bring back pain in flooding memories.

A simple word can just revitalise endless seas of memory.

A picture can resurrect the sensation of a petrol can underneath your nose, the sour liquid lightly pressing your lips.

The taste of strawberries slowly washing their way through your mouth.

The sight of a dismembered body hanging outside a car.

The warmth of an indian summer, the red sky blazing through the clouds.

Or the warmth of a loved one's breath against you neck as they doze off gently to a deep, deep sleep.

A voice down the phone, passively asking how you are, can evoke such a rush of emotion.
