The all-nigh-garage is on the corner near an intersection of B roads. So it's two in the morning and there's no traffic, it's raining heavily and suddenly this oasis of light appears through the downpour, framed it seemed by halos of light from everywhere. It became in that instant a palace.

Now, all I'm doing is going to buy some cigarettes, but suddenly it's all very magical and beautiful and I'm wearing a giant smile on my face. I no longer feel the rain or the wind blowing. And, of course, there's a story somewhere in amongst all this magic.


even your life reads like a story ....
