A thrilling new short story

From Matthew Blake, author of Anna O

Forgive us our sins.

Jim stops and concentrates. He banishes that old schoolboy prayer. His mind has been betraying him lately. Stan diagnosed it first, of course. Stan was perceptive like that. He didn’t have a degree or medical training, but he could spot danger better than anyone. They would sit on the rooftop, two renegade Chelsea Pensioners in regulation dress, and share an illicit cigarette. Stan would put the world to rights. Jim misses those days.
