The Instruments Of Control (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Raindrops plunged into rusted buckets along the corridors, tap-tap-tapping through the night, as bottles popped and red wine splashed into endlessly thirsty glasses. Felix didn’t know half the people at his own party. Old friends of Calum’s, mostly, come to reunite with his brother under the guise of a pre-wedding feast. He didn’t mind. They were a likable bunch for the most part, exuberant and generous drunks, and he didn’t feel sociable enough for sober conversation. He was sober, though. Sober as a stone, despite occasionally lifting a half-filled glass and pretending to drink after yet another increasingly vulgar round of toasts. “May you always awake at sunrise,” one of Calum’s friends shouted across the dining hall, glass raised to salute the groom-to-be, “because your rooster…um, because your rooster…because your cock is hard!” “I’m pretty sure you just utterly botched that,” Calum slurred. “It’s something-doodle-doo, innit?” another man asked, leaning on Calum.
