Gerald had not slept well. The cat would not stop purring around him and the worry of the day before had not gone away. That stupid man's body was heavy. Not getting any younger, it had been incredibly hard work to dig a big enough hole and bury it. It was not as deep as he would have liked, although the rain had thankfully made the ground easier to dig. He also made sure to throw the bloke's keys and pocket debris back in with him. He was almost caught with them in his possession by PC Plod yesterday. His body ached from the exertion. Muscles he had not used for ages cried at him to remember they were no longer supple and well-maintained.
His back pain was bad today. It had become increasingly problematic over the past few months, not that he really did much in the way of gardening anym
