WHAT'S THAT BEEPING?
It hasn’t been a first date like in the movies. He’d come round to mine but my smoke alarm needed new batteries and was beeping. He went to get some and didn’t come back… not meant to be! I necked the wine and spent the evening scrolling facebook. Then I saw, in a local community group, a picture of a car wrapped around a signpost: ‘One person seriously injured & taken to the General’. It was him! I came straight to the hospital, pretended to be family and here I am listening to the beeping of his life support machine.
