A Lesson In The Storm: Season Of Desire: Part 1 (Seasons Quartet) - Plot & Excerpts
I’m in pitch blackness, my body is stiff on the hard wooden planks, and I’m freezing despite my jacket and the pungent sleeping bag tightly wrapped around me. I’m moaning with the pain in my chest, a throbbing ache that feels as though someone is continually squeezing me tight, homing in on the tender area with unerring aim. Panic sweeps over me with the confusion. What’s happening? Where am I? I’m accustomed to different beds, moving the way I do across the world from hotel to apartment, to villa and mansion. But no matter where the beds are, they are always the same: luxurious with soft mattresses and crisp clean sheets, cool in summer and warm in winter. This experience is entirely different – the unforgiving boards, the cold and the dark. In fact, I’ve only known this once before in my life and the memory of that rears up in my head like a black ogre. I’m there, I think, agonised with fear. I’m back there. I cry out, ‘Mama! Are you there? Mama?’ I sit up suddenly, wild with panic and slump under the pain that washes over me.
