The papers loved it of course: dead bodies hidden in the cellar of an ancient house; a missing accountant and lawyer. A Jaguar abandoned on the cliff top at Kinnaird Head. But soon it was over because he was nowhere. Even the Police did not understand how he could have disappeared without trace.

‘You shall always carry the burden.’

That is where he is now. I see him in my nightmares, His pale mouth stretching in the darkness, unable to speak because his tongue is cut out. Forever running.
