The Screaming (Book 1): Dead City - Plot & Excerpts
When he got home, his dad would always be asleep on the sofa, clutching a photograph of his wife. The TV would still be on, usually a late night shopping channel or Jeremy Kyle. Zac would take a blanket from the back of the sofa and lay it over his dad, before turning the TV off and going through to his room. He’d stick his beer stained work shirt into the wash basket, put on his best Guns ‘N’ Roses T-shirt, and fire up the Skype on his battered laptop. Emma, would always be on the other end, ready to talk through the night, no matter what time he called. They would talk for hours, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad, sometimes dirty, but whatever the topic they were getting through their individual loss together, each offering the other an escape from real life. It was Emma that suggested getting together, and Zac, wishing to be the gentleman, offered to travel down to London. The weeks that followed were full of apprehension, with meals of tinned pasta and beans on toast as he frantically saved for the trip.
