r FOR SHINfE I met a girl whose eyes of pervenche blue Were older than mine. Under their quiet stare I felt like a young actor, someone new To that unsure stage and the footlit glare. She came from deepest hopes with her clear skin Like sunlight with her fair hair shining eyes. Her lips so soft and open that within I wanted her. But sadily realized I could not bear to fail and so I sat, Quite still, in the dark, as her perfume teased The air. Then suddenly I fancied that I f she were to respond, I would be pleased I ' d be happy. ..It would have been worthwhile. I kissed her. She opened her eyes to smile. Graham Leggot ■ ' . X

man have his moment of victory. At last he seemed to have found it. Ah, this is it! Handing the paper to Lemeric, he dismissed him with the air of a man already totally engrossed in his work. It wasn ' t imtil Lemeric had safely left the room that the manager sat back and sighed. He didn ' t look again, but instead tore it into tiny bits and dropped tliem in tlie garbage. Back in his own office, Lemeric sat on the corner of his desk, and looked at the paper. At the first glance he froze: 374-0565-R. Lemeric knew the nimiber well. In fact, anything he made a point of remembering, he never forgot. He didn ' t look again, but instead tore it into tiny bits and dropped them into the garbage. Turn the number around, subract one from each digit, and that was it. His mind raced, yet, uncannily, his face was calm and ex- pressionless. What did they want? Lemeric stopped the stream of inevitable questions quickly in his head. He would eventually find out what it was all about. In time. Lemeric had the great ad- vantage of a so-called photographic memory, plus a well-trained and disciplined mind. He put the incident from his mind until he could call for it later. He spent the rest of the day sifting through the meaningless paperwork that was never- ending. The five o ' clock bell rang off in the distance somewhere and he stood up wearily, leaving everything where it was. He stood idly staring out the window as if the narrow courtyard held some sort of intrigue for him. Fifteen minutes later he left his office, well after the mad rush was over. Outside, the cool evening air refreshed his senses. His senses now told him that there was someone following him. Was it the glimpse of a seemingly uninterested person at the newsstand, who started to walk behind him, or was it simply his tired, befogged mind? Trained instinct did not allow Lemeric to think the latter. He quickened his pace ever so slightly and turned the corner without glancing behind. He caught sight of the same dark blurred figure in the reflection of a passing bus vdndow. His heart started to quicken its beat as he paused to look into a shop window and the dark figure also stopped. A frightening empassiveness came across Lemeric ' s face as he plarmed his eventual victory over HI his follower. A victory of what Lemeric did not know, but a victory nonetheless. Lemeric started to walk again. Soon he entered the commercial section of the West End, filled with its ar- chways and alleys. This was where he wanted his adversary. Turning into an archway of a deserted office building, he stood motionless beside a large sup- porting pillar. Several thoughts ran through his head, broken and fragmented - viilnerable parts, kidneys, throat, groin - It was at this precise moment that a burly, blond-haired man clad in a dark overcoat walked aroimd the pillar. Lemeric caught him v dth a vicious blow to the throat vn h the edge of his hand. Eyes staring incredulously ahead, the man was staggering back when Lemeric hit him again, this time with a swift kick to the groin. The man slumped moaning to the ground, semi-conscious. Still writh the same impassive face Lemeric wrenched the man ' s head back by his hair, pulling him into con- sciousness. Why were you follovdng me? The man ' s throat was so puffy and red he could only gurgle, blood spilling down his chin. Who do you work for? The man just moaned. Leaving him lying there, Lemeric stepped onto the street, made sure nobody had witnessed the scene, and walked quickly back the way he had come. As he walked he re-created the event in his mind. It never oc- curred to Lemeric that the man was innocent. But he did wonder why he had hit him so hard and so viciously. In the back of his mind he knew that it was the months of idleness that had built up an incredible pressure inside him. Lemeric also knew that he had a sadistic streak, and in actual fact As he wall(ed lie re- created the incident in his mind. It never even oc- cured to Lemeric that the man was innocent. he enjoyed the thrill of a good fight. Especially if he won. When he reached his flat, his hand had started to swell and his toe felt as if it were broken. He was really out of shape. Feeling more tired than hungry, Lemeric lay on top of his bed. A certain afterglow flowed warmly through him as he began to think again of the incident that had just taken place. His mind soon became foggy and he fell asleep.
