Ma, He Sold Me For A Few Cigarettes (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
Jackser was pullin me outa the bed an shoutin somethin at me. I rubbed me eyes, tryin te come te me senses. ‘Get outa the bed. I told ya te go down te the fuckin road an watch fer the ambulance.’ I started te look fer me frock, but the floor was lifted from under me. ‘Move, ye lazy bastard! Yer mammy needs te get te the hospital!’ He landed me in the middle of the floor an smacked the frock inta me face. ‘Here! Get tha on ye an get goin.’ I dragged the frock over me head an looked over at me ma. She was sittin on the side of the bed wit her head down, an she was moanin. She had her fists dugged inta the mattress. ‘Ma,’ I whispered, ‘wha’s wrong? Will ye be all right?’ She looked up at me an her eyes were like daggers. ‘Leave me alone! Go an get tha fuckin ambulance. Oh, Jaysus!’ she started moanin, an lowered her head te the floor. I ran fer the door. I was just whippin back down through the flats when I heard the bells of the ambulance. The cream van shot aroun the bend an up the entrance.
