Long Way Down (A Gus Dury Crime Thriller) - Plot & Excerpts
Nowt much was occurring, hadn't been for a while. You get in that frame of mind, things like Generation Wuss telly and boy-band music start filling the gaps. My wet brain was already looking like something Sponge Bob would take off his Square Pants for, so another aperture was likely to set me dribbling at the mouth. I turned over a stray copy of The Hun — had The Times tucked below, was thinking that's some heavyweight reading for the east-end of Edinburgh but I let it go, turned it aside because I couldn't face the news, for the first time in my life I didn't have the concentration for it. I couldn't face the anti-independence stance on every page of the paper either — wondered who in this whole country was falling for the 'Scottish edition' bullshit they'd plastered on the front. There was a new vibe in town; Scots dreaming of having a nation of their own will do that. The washer stopped, clicked off after a final gut-bursting spin. I took out the pile of wet denim and captured the inevitable stray sock before tipping the lot in the drier.
