A Long Time Dead (The Dead Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
“Yvonne?” It was a shout, but in this wind he supposed it was more like a whisper. His wet hair whipped about his head, and his coat collar was like a very small boat’s sail, how it flapped against his neck as he crouched behind the oak, exposed knees tucked up, rain dancing on their shiny sodden surface. “I need you,” she said. He buried his finger in his spare ear, and said, “Speak up, what did you say?” She told him that she had fallen. Yes, she said, it was serious, how the knee seemed to grind as she hit the bottom stair, and how “I’ve never felt pain like it, Roger. I’m in agony!” “I’ll call an ambulance.” “No!” she shouted. “I’ve freed a seized joint, Roger, that’s all. Hurts like a bitch, but it’s not worth getting them and hospitals involved.” “You sure, sweet?” “Please, just… Soon, Roger.”
