Cheap flights to Shallow Creek? Ha, we scoff. They’re just saying, they say. There are plenty possibilities. The heat and the sun continue to rise, so the water Angus leaves behind dries up in no time flat. If anything, it vanishes faster than you might expect. Maybe it’s merely another record-breaking heat, or it could be that the water’s interest is solely set on him. There’s a small crowd on Sandhook Lane, whispers faster than people. He’s in the square now, they say. He’s armed. Violent. Drunk. High on drugs cooked up in his basement, we hear. They haven’t seen what we’ve seen though. Sandhook Lane connects the seafront to the Town Square, and when we reach the latter, we’re met with the sight of Angus stripped of everything but his underpants wading out into the memorial fountain.
