thing

in

the

world:

world:

stories

world:

of

world:

jubilation

world:

when

world:

it

world:

is

world:

possessed,

and

world:

of

the

world:

sacrifices

made

world:

and

trials

world:

endured

world:

to

world:

gain

world:

it.

world:

While

world:

it

world:

cannot

world:

be

world:

said,

world:

in

world:

the

world:

case of

world:

Pride,

world:

that such sacrifices

world:

and

world:

trials

world:

are

world:

fair

world:

trade,

for

there

no

such

they

how

paramountly

Pride

is.

The

“Shame

that:

and

that:

Desperation

that:

Will

that:

Kill

that:

You

that:

Someday”

that:

by

that:

Pascal

that:

Farful, Part 1 of 2

Saturday 7th March 1983
An undisclosed

that:

hotel

that:

between

that:

Silverstone

that:

Race

that:

Circuit

that:

and

that:

Milton

that:

Keynes

that:

National

that:

Bowl

Hotel

that:

security

that:

isn’t

that:

very

that:

good.

that:

That’s

that:

both

that:

a

that:

blessing

that:

and

that:

a

that:

curse

that:

for

that:

us.

that:

It’s

that:

a

that:

blessing

that:

because

that:

there’s

that:

almost

that:

no

that:

chance

that:

of

that:

anyone

that:

letting

that:

slip

that:

that

that:

Thomas and I are in

that:

this

that:

room

that:

together.

that:

It’s

that:

a

that:

curse

that:

because

that:

if

that:

someone

that:

did,

that:

they’d

that:

be

that:

completely

that:

incapable

that:

of

that:

stopping

that:

the

that:

reporters

that:

who would

that:

kick

that:

down

that:

our

that:

doors

that:

to

that:

destroy

that:

our

that:

lives.

I

that:

lay

that:

on

that:

the

that:

bed

that:

in

that:

silence.
Waiting.
He’d

that:

be

that:

here

that:

soon.
He

that:

promised.
One

that:

night.
One

that:

night

that:

only.
No

that:

falling

that:

in

that:

love.
No

that:

feelings.
No

that:

emotions.
I

that:

use

that:

him,

that:

he

that:

uses

that:

me.

I’d

that:

got

that:

back

that:

to

that:

the

that:

room

that:

the

that:

moment

that:

soundcheck

that:

finished.

that:

It’s

that:

my

that:

hotel

that:

room,

that:

he

that:

has

that:

to

that:

manage

that:

out

that:

of

that:

a

that:

motorhome.

that:

Again,

that:

blessings

that:

and

that:

curses.

that:

A

that:

room of

that:

your own

that:

domain,

that:

where

that:

nobody

that:

could

that:

come

that:

and

that:

interrupt

that:

you or

that:

throw

that:

you

that:

out.

that:

But

that:

you’d

that:

have

that:

to

that:

fuck

that:

in

that:

the

that:

infield

that:

where

that:

anyone

that:

with

that:

a

that:

camera

that:

could

that:

see

that:

two

that:

men

that:

enter

that:

or

that:

leave,

that:

and

that:

if

that:

there

that:

was

that:

enough

that:

commotion,

that:

it

that:

might

that:

be

that:

hard

that:

to

that:

leave.

that:

At

that:

least,

that:

without

that:

things

that:

getting

that:

ugly.
The

that:

hotel

that:

hookup

that:

was

that:

his

that:

idea.

that:

He

that:

was

that:

born

that:

and

that:

raised

that:

in

that:

these

that:

parts,

that:

so

that:

I

that:

trust

that:

that

that:

he

that:

knows

that:

what

that:

he’s

that:

doing.

Suddenly.
Two

that:

knocks,

that:

then

that:

a

that:

pause,

that:

then

that:

two

that:

more.
I

that:

almost

that:

fall

that:

over

that:

trying

that:

to

that:

get

that:

to

that:

my

that:

feet,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

force

that:

myself

that:

to

that:

be

that:

as

that:

quiet

that:

as

that:

possible.
I

that:

sneak

that:

up

that:

to

that:

the

that:

door

that:

and

that:

unlock it.

that:

I

that:

knock

that:

twice

that:

on

that:

the

that:

door

that:

in

that:

turn,

that:

then

that:

retreat.
He

that:

opens

that:

it.
He

that:

steps

that:

inside

that:

and

that:

closes

that:

it

that:

behind

that:

him.
I

that:

watch

that:

him

that:

lock

that:

it.
And

that:

finally.
We’re

that:

alone.

I

that:

can

that:

see

that:

the

that:

shine

that:

of

that:

sweat

that:

on

that:

his

that:

fur.

that:

He

that:

must

that:

have

that:

done

that:

exactly

that:

what

that:

I

that:

did,

that:

come

that:

straight

that:

here

that:

the

that:

moment

that:

he

that:

wrapped

that:

up

that:

at

that:

the

that:

track.

that:

He’s

that:

still

that:

wearing

that:

those

that:

fireproofs

that:

of

that:

his.

that:

I

that:

guess

that:

if

that:

I

that:

came

that:

here

that:

in

that:

my

that:

stage

that:

clothes,

that:

I’d

that:

look

that:

just

that:

as

that:

ridiculous

that:

to

that:

him.
“I

that:

trust you

that:

checked

that:

it

that:

wasn’t

that:

bugged?”

that:

He

that:

asks

that:

in

that:

a

that:

hushed

that:

tone.

that:

He’s

that:

got

that:

the

that:

voice

that:

of

that:

a

that:

man

that:

who

that:

grew

that:

up

that:

rich.

that:

I

that:

suppose

that:

most

that:

people

that:

had

that:

to

that:

have

that:

rich

that:

blood

that:

to

that:

get

that:

into

that:

his

that:

line

that:

of

that:

work.
“Of

that:

course.”

that:

I

that:

said. “I

that:

ain’t

that:

called

that:

nobody

that:

about

that:

nothing

that:

since

that:

I

that:

got

that:

here.”
The

that:

leopard

that:

grunts,

that:

looks

that:

away.

that:

Finally

that:

he

that:

nods

that:

and

that:

looks

that:

back

that:

to

that:

me. “Then

that:

let’s

that:

get

that:

to

that:

it.”

I

that:

shuffle

that:

forward

that:

and

that:

sit

that:

on

that:

the

that:

side

that:

of

that:

the

that:

bed.

that:

He

that:

undoes

that:

the

that:

velcro

that:

at

that:

the

that:

top

that:

of

that:

the

that:

overalls

that:

and

that:

I

that:

pull

that:

down

that:

the

that:

zip.

that:

He

that:

starts

that:

to try

that:

and

that:

fumble

that:

his

that:

way

that:

out

that:

of

that:

the

that:

thing,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

only

that:

pay

that:

attention to

that:

his

that:

physique.

that:

Sure,

that:

he’s

that:

a

that:

race

that:

car

that:

driver

that:

not

that:

like…

that:

a

that:

sprinter

that:

or a

that:

football

that:

player

that:

but…

that:

he’s

that:

still

that:

in

that:

great

that:

shape.

that:

Probably

that:

has

that:

to

that:

be.
Soon he’s

that:

stood

that:

there

that:

in

that:

a

that:

pair

that:

of

that:

white

that:

briefs,

that:

muscles

that:

shining

that:

in

that:

the

that:

moonlight.

that:

His

that:

breath

that:

is

that:

quick,

that:

tail

that:

impatient,

that:

his fur

that:

tries

that:

to

that:

stand

that:

on

that:

edge in

that:

fear

that:

but

that:

the

that:

smell

that:

of

that:

his

that:

arousal

that:

and

that:

the

that:

staining

that:

of

that:

those

that:

briefs

that:

tells

that:

me

that:

that

that:

he

that:

wants

that:

this

that:

just

that:

as

that:

much

that:

as

that:

he

that:

fears

that:

it.
I

that:

know

that:

how

that:

he

that:

feels.

I

that:

put

that:

my

that:

nose

that:

between

that:

his

that:

pectorals

that:

and

that:

sniff

that:

his

that:

musk.

that:

The

that:

strong

that:

musky

that:

scent

that:

blots

that:

the

that:

fear

that:

from

that:

my

that:

mind.

that:

I

that:

run

that:

my

that:

tongue

that:

down

that:

his

that:

chest

that:

hoping

that:

the

that:

taste

that:

of

that:

his

that:

sweat

that:

might

that:

help.
“Fucking

that:

freak.”

that:

he

that:

grunts.
I

that:

scoff

that:

at

that:

him. “Shame’ll

that:

kill

that:

you

that:

one

that:

of

that:

these

that:

days.”

that:

I

that:

remind

that:

him. “Your

that:

the

that:

one

that:

who

that:

didn’t

that:

wash

that:

before

that:

you

that:

showed

that:

up.”
“Your

that:

the

that:

one

that:

who

that:

told

that:

me

that:

not

that:

to.”

that:

He

that:

grunts.
“And

that:

your

that:

the

that:

one

that:

who-”
“Christ, you

that:

like

that:

the sound of

that:

your

that:

own

that:

voice,

that:

don’t

that:

you?”

that:

He

that:

cuts

that:

me

that:

off,

that:

pressing

that:

my

that:

head

that:

down

that:

towards

that:

his

that:

lap.

I

that:

don’t

that:

object.
I

that:

take

that:

hold

that:

of

that:

his

that:

briefs

that:

and

that:

pull

that:

them

that:

down

that:

briskly.
His

that:

manhood,

that:

hot,

that:

musky

that:

and

that:

slick,

that:

springs

that:

up

that:

to

that:

meet

that:

me

that:

less

that:

than

that:

an

that:

inch

that:

from

that:

my

that:

lips.
I

that:

lean

that:

down,

that:

ready

that:

to

that:

swallow

that:

it.
“W-wait.”

that:

He

that:

gasps.
I

that:

do.
I

that:

look

that:

up

that:

at

that:

him.
He

that:

looks

that:

down

that:

at

that:

me.
He

that:

looks

that:

terrified.

that:

Absolutely

that:

petrified.
I

that:

keep

that:

sniffing

that:

the

that:

air,

that:

trying

that:

to

that:

flood

that:

my

that:

senses

that:

with

that:

him

that:

less

that:

I

that:

end

that:

up

that:

the

that:

same

that:

way.
His

that:

breath

that:

is

that:

fast,

that:

his fur

that:

fully

that:

on

that:

end,

that:

tail

that:

coiled

that:

around

that:

one

that:

of

that:

his

that:

legs.

that:

But

that:

his

that:

cock

that:

only

that:

seems

that:

to

that:

get

that:

harder.

At

that:

last,

that:

he

that:

raises

that:

his

that:

head

that:

and

that:

screws

that:

his

that:

eyes

that:

shut. “Do

that:

it.”

that:

He

that:

whispers.
With

that:

one

that:

motion,

that:

I

that:

swallow

that:

him.

that:

I

that:

put

that:

my

that:

paws

that:

on

that:

his

that:

thighs

that:

and

that:

I

that:

suck.
His

that:

length

that:

is

that:

slippery

that:

with

that:

sweat

that:

and

that:

pre.

that:

It’s

that:

hot and

that:

smells

that:

vividly

that:

of

that:

man.

that:

But

that:

that’s

that:

what

that:

I

that:

want.

that:

It’s

that:

more

that:

than

that:

worth

that:

dying

that:

for.

that:

That’s

that:

what

that:

this is

that:

all

that:

about.
As I

that:

bob

that:

on

that:

his

that:

length,

that:

I

that:

stare

that:

up

that:

at

that:

him,

that:

but

that:

the

that:

moment

that:

I

that:

do,

that:

he

that:

looks

that:

away.
I

that:

close

that:

my

that:

eyes

that:

for

that:

a while,

that:

then

that:

look

that:

again.
Now

that:

he’s

that:

staring

that:

back

that:

at

that:

me.

that:

I

that:

try

that:

not

that:

to

that:

think

that:

about

that:

how

that:

wet

that:

his

that:

eyes

that:

look.

that:

And

that:

instead

that:

I

that:

just

that:

keep

that:

sucking

that:

him.

My

that:

tongue

that:

is

that:

rewarded

that:

with

that:

fresh

that:

pre,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

don’t

that:

get

that:

too

that:

long

that:

to

that:

taste it

that:

before

that:

he

that:

pulls

that:

me

that:

off

that:

his

that:

length.
“Show

that:

me…”

that:

he

that:

begins,

that:

his

that:

throat

that:

catching,

that:

but

that:

he

that:

growls

that:

gently

that:

to clear

that:

it. “Show

that:

me

that:

your

that:

arse.”
I

that:

nod.
I

that:

pull

that:

off

that:

my

that:

shirt,

that:

then

that:

my

that:

pants.

that:

Off

that:

with

that:

my

that:

briefs

that:

too,

that:

all

that:

while

that:

he

that:

stands

that:

there,

that:

pretending

that:

not

that:

to

that:

watch.
“I

that:

got

that:

some

that:

condoms

that:

if

that:

you

that:

didn’t-”
“I

that:

have

that:

plenty.”

that:

He

that:

said,

that:

producing

that:

some

that:

from

that:

the

that:

inside

that:

of

that:

his

that:

race

that:

suit. “Who

that:

the

that:

hell else am I

that:

supposed

that:

to

that:

use

that:

them

that:

on?”

I

that:

lay

that:

back

that:

on

that:

the

that:

bed,

that:

raise

that:

my

that:

legs

that:

and

that:

spread

that:

them.

that:

My

that:

tail

that:

wags and

that:

my

that:

length

that:

stands

that:

proud.
In

that:

the

that:

moonlight,

that:

I

that:

watch

that:

him

that:

slide

that:

the

that:

rubber

that:

over

that:

his

that:

length, then

that:

kneel

that:

up

that:

on

that:

the

that:

bed

that:

between

that:

my

that:

legs.
“Have

that:

you...

that:

uhhh…?”

that:

He

that:

hesitates.
“I

that:

prepped

that:

before

that:

you

that:

turned

that:

up.”

that:

I

that:

say. “There’s some lube

that:

in

that:

the

that:

drawer.”
He

that:

opens

that:

the

that:

desk

that:

drawer

that:

and

that:

pulls

that:

out

that:

a

that:

small

that:

tube

that:

of

that:

jelly.

that:

Then,

that:

he

that:

pulls

that:

a

that:

pillow

that:

from the

that:

bed

that:

and

that:

holds

that:

it

that:

over

that:

my

that:

muzzle. “Open

that:

up.”

that:

He

that:

whispers.
“You

that:

called

that:

me

that:

a

that:

freak.”

that:

I

that:

snort.
“It’s

that:

to

that:

shut

that:

you

that:

up.”

that:

He

that:

rumbles. “They

that:

pay

that:

you

that:

to

that:

scream

that:

on

that:

stage,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

don’t

that:

want

that:

hear

that:

a

that:

sound

that:

out

that:

of

that:

you

that:

in

that:

here.”
Kinky,

that:

dominant

that:

and

that:

ripped,

that:

what

that:

a

that:

stud!

that:

Shame

that:

he’s

that:

an

that:

idiot. “Use

that:

a

that:

towel.”

that:

I

that:

tell

that:

him. “Pillows

that:

leave

that:

teeth

that:

marks.”
His

that:

face

that:

suddenly

that:

changes.

that:

I

that:

miss

that:

his

that:

dominant

that:

glare

that:

the

that:

moment

that:

the

that:

fear

that:

replaces

that:

it.

that:

He

that:

nods

that:

briskly,

that:

departing

that:

and

that:

returning

that:

with a

that:

small

that:

towel.

that:

He

that:

twists

that:

it

that:

into

that:

a

that:

cylinder and

that:

I

that:

let

that:

him

that:

put

that:

it

that:

in

that:

my

that:

mouth.

My

that:

tail

that:

swishes

that:

from

that:

side

that:

to

that:

side.

that:

It’s

that:

the

that:

only

that:

way

that:

I

that:

can

that:

communicate

that:

what

that:

I

that:

want

that:

as

that:

he

that:

fumbles

that:

around

that:

in

that:

the

that:

dark.
I

that:

smell

that:

the lube

that:

in

that:

the

that:

air.
Suddenly,

that:

I

that:

feel

that:

slick,

that:

cold

that:

fingers

that:

smearing

that:

over

that:

my

that:

entrance.
I

that:

shiver

that:

and

that:

I

that:

squeak,

that:

half

that:

in

that:

arousal,

that:

half

that:

in

that:

surprise,

that:

but

that:

the

that:

towel

that:

does it’s

that:

job.
The

that:

fingers

that:

sink

that:

inside

that:

me.
I

that:

try

that:

to

that:

relax.

that:

Breathe,

that:

relax,

that:

breathe,

that:

relax.

Scream.
We

that:

both

that:

jump, then

that:

freeze

that:

in

that:

place.
Not

that:

from

that:

in

that:

here.
From

that:

one

that:

room

that:

over.
The

that:

scream

that:

was short,

that:

but

that:

then

that:

begins

that:

to

that:

become

that:

rhythmic.

that:

Met

that:

then

that:

by

that:

a

that:

creaking,

that:

and then a man’s

that:

moans...

We

that:

stare

that:

at

that:

each

that:

other.
Humiliated.
But

that:

it

that:

takes

that:

the

that:

pressure

that:

off.
He

that:

seems

that:

unsure

that:

of

that:

himself.

that:

But

that:

I

that:

know

that:

what

that:

I

that:

want.

that:

I

that:

gesture

that:

between

that:

my

that:

legs.
“Ffffhhh mmhhh”

that:

I

that:

instruct

that:

through

that:

the

that:

towel.
He

that:

snaps

that:

back

that:

to

that:

reality.

that:

He

that:

spits

that:

on

that:

me.

that:

Suddenly,

that:

his

that:

cock

that:

presses

that:

against

that:

my

that:

ass

that:

and

that:

pushes

that:

inside.
I

that:

want

that:

to

that:

tell

that:

him

that:

to

that:

slow

that:

down,

that:

but

that:

not

that:

only

that:

is

that:

it

that:

too

that:

late,

that:

the

that:

way

that:

he

that:

carelessly

that:

buries

that:

his

that:

cock

that:

inside

that:

me

that:

is

that:

just

that:

the

that:

kind

that:

of

that:

rough

that:

and

that:

degrading

that:

that I fantasise about. I try to

that:

lift

that:

and

that:

spread

that:

my

that:

legs as

that:

he

that:

withdraws,

that:

then

that:

starts

that:

to

that:

thrust.

God…

that:

he

that:

feels

that:

so

that:

big

that:

inside

that:

me.

that:

His

that:

size.

that:

That’s

that:

what

that:

I

that:

focus

that:

my

that:

mind

that:

on.

that:

He’s

that:

big

that:

and

that:

he’s

that:

not

that:

got

that:

good

that:

enough

that:

technique

that:

to

that:

make

that:

that

that:

feel

that:

elegant.

that:

And

that:

that’s

that:

what

that:

I

that:

want

that:

in

that:

a

that:

man.
He

that:

fucks

that:

me

that:

hard.

that:

But

that:

when

that:

I

that:

look

that:

at

that:

him,

that:

he

that:

looks

that:

away.
I

that:

think

that:

I

that:

know

that:

what

that:

he’s

that:

trying

that:

to

that:

hide.
I

that:

try

that:

to

that:

lock

that:

him

that:

back

that:

in

that:

with

that:

me.

that:

I

that:

growl,

that:

try to tell

that:

him

that:

to

that:

fuck

that:

me

that:

harder,

that:

rougher.
But

that:

his

that:

hips

that:

have

that:

one

that:

speed

that:

and

that:

his

that:

eyes

that:

avoid

that:

me.
I try

that:

not

that:

to

that:

think

that:

about

that:

how

that:

shimmery

that:

his

that:

eyes

that:

are.

that:

I

that:

know

that:

he

that:

can

that:

make

that:

this

that:

stop

that:

anytime

that:

he

that:

wants.

that:

Hell,

that:

he

that:

can

that:

stop

that:

this

that:

faster

that:

than

that:

I

that:

can.

that:

And

that:

he

that:

doesn’t.

I

that:

put

that:

my

that:

paws

that:

on

that:

his

that:

ass.
Suddenly,

that:

his

that:

eyes

that:

meet

that:

mine.
But

that:

he

that:

ain’t

that:

mad.

that:

He

that:

ain’t

that:

crying

that:

anymore

that:

either.

that:

He

that:

looks…

that:

surprised?
I

that:

growl

that:

at

that:

him

that:

through

that:

the

that:

towel.

that:

Get

that:

the

that:

fucking

that:

hint.
He

that:

locks

that:

eyes

that:

with

that:

me.

that:

He

that:

gets

that:

the

that:

hint.
He

that:

grabs

that:

me.

that:

He

that:

conquers

that:

me.

that:

My

that:

teeth

that:

clench

that:

tight

that:

around

that:

that

that:

towel, it

that:

masking

that:

my

that:

yelps

that:

and

that:

snarls

that:

of

that:

pleasure

that:

and

that:

pain.

that:

It’s

that:

a

that:

waste

that:

of

that:

my

that:

vocal

that:

chords

that:

not

that:

to

that:

tell

that:

him

that:

how

that:

much

that:

I

that:

like

that:

it.

Suddenly,

that:

his

that:

length

that:

shudders

that:

within

that:

me.
I

that:

meet

that:

his

that:

gaze.
He

that:

looks

that:

away.
I

that:

try

that:

and

that:

reach

that:

up

that:

to

that:

pull his gaze

that:

back

that:

to

that:

mine, but

that:

before

that:

I

that:

can,

that:

he

that:

yanks

that:

the

that:

towel

that:

from

that:

my

that:

mouth,

that:

then

that:

slams

that:

his

that:

lips

that:

against

that:

mine.

that:

I

that:

almost

that:

don’t

that:

notice

that:

his

that:

hips

that:

make

that:

their

that:

final

that:

thrust.
I

that:

feel

that:

his

that:

orgasm

that:

but

that:

not

that:

a

that:

drop

that:

reaches

that:

me.

that:

His

that:

tongue

that:

fills

that:

my

that:

muzzle,

that:

briskly,

that:

eagerly,

that:

needily.
Fear

that:

fills

that:

me

that:

again.
Then

that:

anger.

At

that:

last,

that:

he

that:

pulls

that:

free,

that:

slipping

that:

out

that:

of

that:

me

that:

and

that:

leaving

that:

me

that:

with

that:

the

that:

deep

that:

emptiness

that:

and

that:

pulsing

that:

ache

that:

that

that:

I

that:

wish

that:

I

that:

could

that:

just

that:

wallow

that:

in

that:

and

that:

enjoy.
Very

that:

quickly,

that:

he

that:

pulls off

that:

the

that:

condom

that:

and

that:

ties a knot

that:

in

that:

it. He

that:

immediately

that:

starts

that:

trying

that:

to

that:

get

that:

dressed.

“You

that:

fucking

that:

liar!”

that:

I

that:

snarl

that:

as

that:

quietly

that:

as

that:

I

that:

can.
“What?”
“The

that:

kiss!”
The

that:

leopard

that:

grunts

that:

and

that:

doesn’t

that:

stop

that:

getting

that:

dressed. “What

that:

kiss?”
“Don’t

that:

play

that:

dumb

that:

with

that:

me.”

that:

I

that:

growled as

that:

quietly

that:

as

that:

I

that:

could. “We

that:

had

that:

a

that:

deal-”
“No

that:

falling

that:

in

that:

love.”

that:

He

that:

interrupts

that:

me,

that:

finally

that:

meeting

that:

my

that:

gaze

that:

again. “Are

that:

you

that:

about

that:

to

that:

break

that:

that

that:

promise?”
“You

that:

don’t

that:

get

that:

why

that:

that

that:

promise

that:

exists.”

that:

I

that:

say,

that:

scrambling to

that:

my

that:

feet. “If

that:

you

that:

can’t

that:

keep

that:

your

that:

emotions

that:

in

that:

line,

that:

you’ll

that:

get

that:

desperate.

that:

And

that:

once

that:

you

that:

get

that:

desperate,

that:

you’ll

that:

slip

that:

up.

that:

And

that:

once

that:

you

that:

slip

that:

up,

that:

you’ll

that:

get

that:

both

that:

of

that:

us

that:

killed.”
The

that:

leopard

that:

snarls

that:

at

that:

me,

that:

then

that:

turns

that:

tail

that:

and

that:

walks

that:

towards

that:

the

that:

door. “They won’t

that:

kill

that:

us

that:

here.”
“Even

that:

if

that:

that’s

that:

true, we

that:

ain’t always gonna

that:

to

that:

be

that:

here.

that:

You

that:

could

that:

get

that:

desperate

that:

in

that:

the

that:

most

that:

dangerous

that:

of

that:

places.”

--

Saturday 31st January 1987
Daytona International

that:

Speedway,

that:

Daytona

that:

Beach,

that:

Florida.

That fucking bastard.
Randy didn’t tell me his tour took him

that:

through

that:

Florida.
He

that:

didn’t

that:

tell

that:

me

that:

that he had the

that:

Saturday night of the Daytona 24

that:

hours

that:

as an

that:

off

that:

day.

Unfortunately,

that:

I

that:

turned

that:

on

that:

my

that:

TV

that:

in

that:

time

that:

to

that:

see

that:

that

that:

golden

that:

retriever

that:

strutting

that:

around

that:

on

that:

MTV.

that:

Squeezed

that:

into

that:

leather

that:

trousers

that:

a

that:

size

that:

too

that:

small

that:

for

that:

him,

that:

squealing

that:

and

that:

convulsing

that:

like

that:

a

that:

bitch

that:

in

that:

heat.
If

that:

it

that:

was

that:

just

that:

that,

that:

I

that:

could

that:

have fixed

that:

it

that:

with my paw. Worse,

that:

that

that:

slut must

that:

have

that:

turned

that:

on

that:

his

that:

TV

that:

at

that:

the

that:

right

that:

time

that:

to

that:

see

that:

me

that:

interviewed

that:

on

that:

ESPN,

that:

because

that:

while

that:

he

that:

was

that:

getting

that:

interviewed,

that:

he

that:

kept

that:

knocking

that:

on

that:

the

that:

flight

that:

case

that:

he

that:

was

that:

sat

that:

on.
Two

that:

knocks,

that:

then

that:

a

that:

pause,

that:

then

that:

two

that:

knocks.
The

that:

same

that:

one

that:

from

that:

the

that:

first

that:

time.
He

that:

kept

that:

doing

that:

it.
Once

that:

or

that:

twice was

that:

an

that:

accident.
But

that:

it was the entire 4 or

that:

so

that:

minuets

that:

he

that:

was

that:

on

that:

screen.

that:

And

that:

he

that:

kept

that:

looking

that:

down

that:

the

that:

camera

that:

to

that:

do

that:

it.
Now

that:

we

that:

have

that:

to

that:

fuck.
Have to.

We

that:

made

that:

promises.

that:

Promised

that:

it

that:

was

that:

only

that:

once.

that:

Promised

that:

we’d

that:

never

that:

feel

that:

anything

that:

for

that:

each

that:

other.

that:

He

that:

promised

that:

I’d

that:

break

that:

those

that:

promises

that:

before

that:

he

that:

did.
But

that:

there’s

that:

no

that:

need

that:

to

that:

keep

that:

score.
It

that:

doesn’t

that:

matter

that:

what

that:

we

that:

promised.
I

that:

need him.
And now

that:

I

that:

know

that:

he

that:

needs

that:

me

that:

too.
I

that:

don’t

that:

love

that:

him.
I

that:

just

that:

want

that:

another

that:

chance

that:

to

that:

use

that:

him.
I

that:

just

that:

want

that:

him

that:

to

that:

want

that:

me.

that:

So

that:

all

that:

these

that:

days sitting alone in my motorhome are the

that:

same

that:

days

that:

he

that:

is

that:

sitting

that:

alone

that:

in

that:

his

that:

tour

that:

bus.

It’s

that:

the

that:

dead

that:

of

that:

the

that:

night.
I’ve

that:

been

that:

stiff

that:

ever

that:

since

that:

I got in

that:

the

that:

car.

that:

I

that:

wish

that:

I

that:

was

that:

stuck

that:

in

that:

the

that:

thick

that:

of

that:

a

that:

battle

that:

just

that:

to

that:

keep

that:

my

that:

mind

that:

off of

that:

him.

that:

But

that:

no.

that:

It’s

that:

been

that:

just

that:

lap after consistent lap to lull me into dreams of wrecking

that:

that

that:

twink.
The

that:

fuel

that:

light

that:

comes

that:

on

that:

on

that:

my

that:

dash.
Finally.
I

that:

pull

that:

into

that:

the

that:

pits,

that:

climb

that:

out of the car and leap over the pitwall.
I

that:

strap

that:

my

that:

co-driver

that:

into

that:

the

that:

car,

that:

trying

that:

to

that:

ramble

that:

something

that:

useful

that:

about the

that:

car or

that:

the

that:

circuit or

that:

anything.

that:

But

that:

I

that:

have a

that:

one-track

that:

mind.

that:

Thank

that:

god

that:

these

that:

racing

that:

suits

that:

were

that:

baggy.
I

that:

leap

that:

over

that:

the

that:

pit wall

that:

and

that:

start

that:

to

that:

walk

that:

without

that:

hesitation

that:

back

that:

to

that:

my

that:

motorhome.

that:

I

that:

don’t

that:

know

that:

when

that:

I’m

that:

due

that:

back

that:

in

that:

the car, but I’ll fix that once this dog fixes

that:

me.

You can’t

that:

escape

that:

the noise inside an active race track,

that:

no

that:

matter

that:

where

that:

you

that:

go.

that:

Maybe

that:

I

that:

won’t have to

that:

put a towel in his mouth this time.

that:

Either

that:

that:

deliberately

that:

parked

that:

my

that:

motorhome as

that:

far

that:

out

that:

of

that:

the

that:

way

that:

as

that:

I could. The driver’s quarters are separated from

the

rest

of

that:

the

that:

infield

camping,

that:

which

that:

is

that:

going

to

that:

give

that:

us

that:

enough

that:

privacy

that:

to

that:

make

that:

this

work,

that:

but

that:

for

that:

one

complication.

He’s

Centre,

“Thank

that:

you!

that:

Goodnight!”
The

that:

crowd

that:

roars

that:

and

that:

I

that:

make

that:

my

that:

final

that:

goodbyes,

that:

turning

that:

around

that:

and

that:

walking

that:

backstage.
My

that:

tour

that:

manager

that:

flops a

that:

cold

that:

towel

that:

around

that:

my

that:

shoulders

that:

and

that:

starts

that:

sweet

that:

talking

that:

me

that:

about

that:

success

that:

and

that:

money

that:

and

that:

shit.

that:

I

that:

overhear

that:

the

that:

rest

that:

of

that:

the

that:

band

that:

making

that:

plans

that:

to

that:

snort

coke

that:

and

fuck

various

that:

in

that:

the

that:

hotel.

that:

Not

that:

one

that:

word

that:

of

that:

it

that:

stays

that:

in

that:

my

that:

head.

As

that:

happy

that:

as

that:

I

that:

am

that:

onstage,

that:

I’m

that:

an

that:

empty

that:

husk

that:

off

that:

of

that:

it.
I’m

that:

a

that:

lonely

that:

man,

that:

a

that:

traitor

that:

hiding

that:

in

that:

plain

that:

sight,

that:

deep

that:

behind

that:

enemy

that:

lines.
As

that:

I

that:

head

that:

back to

that:

the

that:

dressing

that:

room,

that:

one

that:

of

that:

the

that:

assistants

that:

hands

that:

me an

that:

envelope.
I

that:

don’t

that:

really

that:

listen

that:

to

that:

what’s

that:

being

that:

said

that:

about

that:

it.

that:

I

that:

doubt

that:

it’s

that:

important.
Wait

that:

a

that:

minute…
As

that:

I

that:

grope

that:

the

that:

package,

that:

I

that:

start

that:

noticing

that:

shapes.

Discretely,

that:

I

that:

find

that:

a

that:

spout

that:

of

that:

of the way,

that:

and

that:

open

that:

it up.
“PADDOCK PASS, DAYTONA 24 HOURS 1987.”
Laminated, on a lanyard.
Oh

that:

my

that:

god.

that:

Thomas

that:

has

that:

done

that:

it.
I

that:

close

that:

the

that:

package and

that:

hold

that:

it as

that:

tightly

that:

as

that:

I

that:

can

that:

while

that:

scurrying

that:

back

that:

to

that:

the

that:

changing

that:

rooms.
I

that:

sneak

that:

a

that:

second

that:

look

that:

and

that:

included

that:

inside

that:

is a

that:

small

that:

scrap

that:

of

that:

paper.
Onwhich

that:

is

that:

a

that:

code that

that:

I

that:

quickly

that:

realise is a

that:

license plate.

Saturday 31st January 1987
Daytona International

that:

Speedway,

that:

Daytona

that:

Beach

that:

Florida.

I

that:

arrive

that:

at

that:

my

that:

motorhome.

that:

There’s

that:

a

that:

figure

that:

in

that:

a

that:

wide-brimmed

that:

hat

that:

trying

that:

hard

that:

not

that:

to

that:

look

that:

at

that:

it.
That’s

that:

Randy.

that:

I

that:

recognise

that:

his

that:

slender

that:

physique

that:

and

that:

cute

that:

backside

that:

anywhere.
Fear

that:

and

that:

arousal

that:

begin

that:

to

that:

coarse

that:

through

that:

my

that:

veins.
I

that:

walk

that:

past

that:

him

that:

to

that:

the door.

that:

I

that:

open it. I

that:

cough

that:

loudly, which

that:

causes

that:

him to turn his

that:

head.

that:

Then

that:

I

that:

step

that:

inside.
The

that:

moment

that:

I’m

that:

hidden

that:

from

that:

view,

that:

I

that:

start

that:

stripping

that:

out of

that:

my

that:

overalls.

that:

I

that:

make

that:

sure

that:

to

that:

face

that:

the

that:

doorway

that:

so

that:

he

that:

knows

that:

what

that:

he’s

that:

in

that:

for.
I

that:

watch

that:

him

that:

step

that:

inside,

that:

turn

that:

around

that:

and

that:

close

that:

the

that:

door

that:

behind

that:

him.

As he turns around, I let my overalls fall to the floor.
His

that:

eyes

that:

look

that:

hungrily

that:

over

that:

me

that:

and

that:

I

that:

throb

that:

against

that:

my

that:

briefs.
“Suck

that:

it.”

that:

I order.
He

that:

throws

that:

down

that:

the

that:

hat

that:

and

that:

drops

that:

to

that:

his

that:

knees.

that:

I’m

that:

convinced

that:

he’s

that:

going

that:

to

that:

waste

that:

my

that:

time by

that:

sniffing

that:

or

that:

licking

that:

my

that:

sweat,

that:

I

that:

know

that:

how

that:

much

that:

he

that:

likes

that:

that.

that:

But

that:

he’s

that:

as

that:

needy

that:

as

that:

I

that:

am.

that:

He

that:

pulls

that:

my

that:

briefs

that:

down and

that:

within

that:

seconds I’m

that:

balls

that:

deep

that:

in

that:

that

that:

tight

that:

throat

that:

of

that:

his.
Good

that:

slut.
I

that:

grab

that:

a

that:

fistful of his

that:

teased,

that:

blond

that:

hair

that:

and

that:

lay

that:

siege

that:

to

that:

his

that:

windpipe.
I

that:

don’t

that:

care

that:

about

that:

him.
I don’t care about him.
I

that:

don’t

that:

care

that:

about

that:

him.
His

that:

paws

that:

scramble

that:

down.

that:

I

that:

hesitate,

that:

fear

that:

shivers

that:

up

that:

my

that:

back,

that:

but

that:

he’s

that:

fine.

that:

Just

that:

setting

that:

his own

that:

aching

that:

length free

that:

from

that:

those

that:

tight

that:

jeans

that:

of

that:

his.

that:

I

that:

try

that:

and

that:

suppress

that:

my

that:

relief.

I

that:

leak

that:

into

that:

his

that:

gullet.

that:

I have to pull

that:

free less I

that:

flood his

that:

throat

that:

before

that:

it’s

that:

time.
“Gimme

that:

your

that:

arsehole.”

that:

I

that:

snarl.
He

that:

pulls

that:

off

that:

his

that:

shirt,

that:

coughing

that:

and

that:

hacking,

that:

but

that:

moving

that:

with

that:

a

that:

feverish

that:

need.
I

that:

pull

that:

a

that:

condom

that:

out

that:

of

that:

my

that:

draw

that:

and

that:

put

that:

it

that:

on

that:

while

that:

he

that:

lays

that:

up

that:

on

that:

my

that:

bed.
“I

that:

preped

that:

before

that:

we-”
“I

that:

don’t

that:

care.”

that:

I

that:

lie.

that:

I

that:

spit

that:

on

that:

his

that:

tight hole

that:

and

that:

he

that:

squeaks

that:

in

that:

pleasure,

that:

reaching

that:

back

that:

and

that:

spreading

that:

himself

that:

wide

that:

before

that:

I can tell him

that:

to.
I

that:

spy

that:

him

that:

grinning

that:

at

that:

me

that:

and

that:

hope

that:

that I’m

that:

not

that:

grinning

that:

back.
I

that:

hate

that:

feelings.
I

that:

hate

that:

having

that:

them.
I hate

that:

processing

that:

them.
I

that:

love

that:

his

that:

holes.
They

that:

can

that:

feel

that:

them

that:

for

that:

me.
I slosh

that:

some

that:

lube over his rump and

that:

my

that:

rubbered dick, a

that:

little

that:

more than is

that:

necessary, then

that:

shove

that:

it

that:

inside

that:

him.

that:

No

that:

ceremony. He’s

that:

a

that:

fleshlight

that:

to

that:

me.
He

that:

squeals, a

that:

little

that:

raspy

that:

from

that:

last

that:

night,

that:

but

that:

he’s

that:

a

that:

professional.
I

that:

grab his tail

that:

in one paw, then his

that:

hip

that:

in

that:

the

that:

other,

that:

slam

that:

home

that:

nice

that:

and

that:

deep,

that:

then

that:

start

that:

to

that:

take

that:

out

that:

my

that:

frustrations

that:

on

that:

him.
Big,

that:

deep,

that:

careless

that:

thrusts.
For

that:

me.

that:

Not

that:

for

that:

him.

that:

Nothing

that:

I

that:

do

that:

is

that:

for

that:

him.

that:

I

that:

don’t

that:

feel

that:

anything.
I

that:

feel

that:

nothing.
I

that:

feel

that:

nothing.
I

that:

promise,

that:

I

that:

feel

that:

nothing.

“Faster!”

that:

He

that:

squeals.
Faster?!

that:

I

that:

feel

that:

my claws

that:

draw.

that:

No!

that:

I

that:

flinch

that:

backwards,

that:

only

that:

my

that:

tip

that:

still

that:

inside

that:

him.
My

that:

heart

that:

batters

that:

against

that:

my

that:

chest and

that:

my

that:

head

that:

pounds.
“You

that:

ok?”

that:

He

that:

asks.
“Bastard!”

that:

I

that:

slam

that:

home

that:

again.

that:

Trying

that:

to

that:

fuck

that:

him

that:

harder.

that:

If

that:

I

that:

can

that:

fuck

that:

him

that:

hard

that:

enough,

that:

maybe

that:

it’ll

that:

fuck

that:

the

that:

feelings

that:

right outta me. I

that:

try and

that:

move

that:

my

that:

foot

that:

around

that:

to

that:

his

that:

back

that:

to

that:

pin

that:

him

that:

down.

that:

But I nearly lose

that:

balance.
I

that:

try

that:

and

that:

grab tighter.
Move

that:

faster.
But I…

that:

can’t.

that:

I’m

that:

being

that:

as

that:

careless

that:

and

that:

brutal

that:

as

that:

I

that:

can,

that:

but

that:

my

that:

hips

that:

just

that:

can’t

that:

go

that:

that

that:

fast.
“You

that:

can

that:

be

that:

as

that:

rough

that:

and

that:

fast

that:

as

that:

you

that:

want.”

that:

He

that:

assures

that:

me

that:

in

that:

that

that:

nice,

that:

pretty,

that:

kind

that:

voice

that:

of

that:

his.
“Fuck

that:

off!”

that:

I

that:

snarl. “I can’t.

that:

This is all I’ve got.”
“That’s

that:

fi-”
“No!” I screw my

that:

eyes shut. “Stop

that:

being

that:

fucking

that:

nice

that:

to

that:

me!”
The

that:

room

that:

echoes

that:

with my shouts. The distant cars. My heart’s going so

that:

fast

that:

I’m

that:

convinced

that:

he

that:

can

that:

hear

that:

it.

“Y’know what,

that:

fuck

that:

it.” The

that:

snarl leaves

that:

my

that:

lips. A

that:

twitch

that:

in

that:

my

that:

throat

that:

and

that:

a

that:

hunger

that:

consumes

that:

me.
I

that:

pull

that:

free

that:

and

that:

I tug him

that:

forward

that:

so he’s

that:

sat

that:

on

that:

the

that:

bed.
With

that:

him

that:

sat

that:

up,

that:

I

that:

drop

that:

like

that:

a

that:

rock

that:

to

that:

my

that:

knees

that:

and

that:

bury his

that:

length

that:

in

that:

my

that:

throat.
I

that:

suck

that:

him

that:

as

that:

hard

that:

and

that:

as

that:

fast

that:

as

that:

I

that:

can.

that:

I

that:

want

that:

to

that:

feel

that:

power.

that:

Either

that:

my

that:

power

that:

over

that:

him,

that:

or

that:

his

that:

over

that:

me.

that:

I

that:

need

that:

to

that:

feel

that:

like

that:

this

that:

is a

that:

life

that:

or

that:

death

that:

situation

that:

because

that:

I

that:

know

that:

it

that:

is.

that:

Outside of this

that:

horrible

that:

aluminium

that:

shitbox,

that:

these

that:

arseholes

that:

would

that:

empty

that:

full

that:

clips

that:

into

that:

both

that:

of

that:

us

that:

if

that:

they saw or heard

that:

any

that:

of

that:

this.

that:

I

that:

needed

that:

this

that:

to

that:

feel

that:

so

that:

powerful

that:

I’d

that:

die

that:

for

that:

it.

that:

Because

that:

in

that:

my

that:

mind,

that:

there

that:

was

that:

a

that:

good

that:

chance

that:

I

that:

would.

My

that:

headache

that:

begins

that:

to

that:

ease. I

that:

try

that:

and

that:

fight

that:

the

that:

feelings

that:

that

that:

come,

that:

but…

that:

I

that:

can’t

that:

resist

that:

them anymore.

that:

His

that:

dick

that:

in

that:

my

that:

mouth

that:

feels

that:

so…

that:

good.

that:

It’s

that:

big and it’s hot and it’s thick and it’s bad and I

that:

shouldn’t

that:

and

that:

it’s…

that:

the

that:

best

that:

thing

that:

that’s

that:

ever

that:

happened

that:

to

that:

me.
As

that:

I

that:

suck,

that:

I

that:

feel

that:

his

that:

paws

that:

grab

that:

my

that:

head.

that:

His

that:

touch is

that:

firm,

that:

but

that:

soft.
I

that:

try

that:

and

that:

summon

that:

my

that:

machismo,

that:

but

that:

it’s

that:

gone.

that:

I’m

that:

crying

that:

and

that:

I’m

that:

comfortable.
At

that:

last,

that:

I

that:

suck harder,

that:

slamming

that:

my

that:

head

that:

into

that:

his

that:

hips

that:

in

that:

a

that:

fruitless

that:

effort

that:

to

that:

drive

that:

those

that:

feelings

that:

away.

that:

Those

that:

lies.

that:

Those

that:

damn

that:

fucking

that:

lies.
But

that:

it’s

that:

too

that:

late.
I

that:

don’t

that:

just

that:

care

that:

about

that:

him.
I

that:

love

that:

him.

A fist slams into the door in three hard knocks.
I

that:

freeze,

that:

hoping

that:

it’s a

that:

coincidence.
The

that:

knocking

that:

repeats.
“Thomas!

that:

Wake

that:

up!

that:

Get

that:

out

that:

here

that:

now!”
We’re

that:

going

that:

to

that:

die.

---

My

that:

life

that:

flashes

that:

before

that:

my

that:

eyes.
Thomas

that:

stands

that:

up

that:

in

that:

one

that:

fluid

that:

motion.

that:

He

that:

shoves

that:

my

that:

clothes

that:

into

that:

my

that:

paws,

that:

then

that:

pushes

that:

me

that:

into

that:

a

that:

closet.
I

that:

pull

that:

the

that:

door

that:

closed

that:

behind

that:

me

that:

and

that:

peak

that:

through

that:

the

that:

crack.

“Alright,

that:

alright,

that:

I’m

that:

awake!”

that:

He

that:

shouts,

that:

wiping

that:

his

that:

muzzle

that:

and

that:

pulling

that:

on

that:

his

that:

briefs.

that:

He

that:

finally opens the door.
“We’re fucked, we’re

that:

finished.”

that:

A

that:

man

that:

sternly

that:

informs

that:

him. “Anatolli

that:

hit a GTU car and

that:

punted

that:

the

that:

fucking

that:

thing

that:

off

that:

at

that:

the

that:

chicane.

that:

The

that:

cars

that:

fucking

that:

totalled.”
“Shall

that:

I

that:

suit

that:

up?”
“I

that:

just

that:

fucking

that:

told

that:

you,

that:

we’re

that:

done.”
The

that:

door

that:

slammed

that:

shut

that:

and

that:

for

that:

a

that:

moment

that:

there

that:

was

that:

only

that:

the

that:

distant

that:

sound

that:

of

that:

more

that:

cars

that:

orbiting

that:

the

that:

circuit.
“You

that:

can

that:

come

that:

out

that:

if

that:

you

that:

want.”

that:

Thomas

that:

whispered.
“Finally,

that:

a

that:

closet

that:

I

that:

can

that:

leave.”

that:

I

that:

grunted,

that:

stepping

that:

free.

He

that:

sits

that:

down

that:

on

that:

his

that:

bed

that:

and

that:

I

that:

stand

that:

naked.

that:

He’s

that:

soft,

that:

and

that:

so

that:

am

that:

I.
“We

that:

can…

that:

y’know…”

that:

I

that:

began. “Keep

that:

going.”
“I’m

that:

sorry.”

that:

He

that:

whimpers.
“For

that:

what?”
He

that:

looks

that:

me

that:

in

that:

the

that:

eye. “For

that:

using

that:

you.

that:

For

that:

getting all

that:

my

that:

pain

that:

and

that:

anger

that:

out

that:

on

that:

you.

that:

For

that:

using

that:

you

that:

to

that:

get

that:

over

that:

my

that:

feelings.”

that:

He

that:

said. “You’re

that:

the

that:

only

that:

man

that:

I

that:

have

that:

and

that:

I’ve

that:

treated

that:

you

that:

so

that:

badly.”
“Oh

that:

no.”

that:

I

that:

protest. “No

that:

no

that:

no,

that:

what

that:

was

that:

the

that:

first

that:

fucking

that:

rule

that:

of

that:

us

that:

doing

that:

this?”

that:

I

that:

growled. “You

that:

promised

that:

I

that:

would

that:

be

that:

nothing

that:

but

that:

a

that:

fucktoy

that:

to

that:

you!”
“Well

that:

I

that:

was

that:

wrong!”

that:

He

that:

snarls. “I

that:

love

that:

you.

that:

I

that:

can’t

that:

run

that:

from

that:

it

that:

any more.

that:

I

that:

don’t

that:

care

that:

what

that:

you

that:

do,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

can’t

that:

lie

that:

about

that:

this

that:

any

that:

longer.

that:

If

that:

you

that:

walk

that:

out,

that:

if

that:

you

that:

stay,

that:

if

that:

you

that:

fuck

that:

me,

that:

if

that:

you

that:

hurt

that:

me.”

that:

His

that:

eyes

that:

bury

that:

into

that:

my

that:

own,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

look

that:

away. “You’re

that:

the

that:

only

that:

man

that:

I

that:

trust.

that:

The

that:

only

that:

man

that:

I

that:

love.

that:

The

that:

only

that:

man

that:

who

that:

knows

that:

what

that:

I

that:

have

that:

to

that:

lose,

that:

what

that:

I

that:

have

that:

to

that:

risk

that:

just

that:

to

that:

be

that:

who

that:

I

that:

am.”

“We

that:

had

that:

a deal.”

that:

I

that:

bottle

that:

my

that:

feelings

that:

as

that:

best

that:

I

that:

can.
“I

that:

know.”

that:

He

that:

whispers. “I’m

that:

sorry.”
“You

that:

nearly

that:

got

that:

us

that:

killed

that:

once

that:

tonight,

that:

asshole.

that:

I’m

that:

not

that:

gonna to

that:

let

that:

it

that:

be

that:

twice.”

that:

I

that:

start

that:

getting

that:

dressed,

that:

my

that:

guts

that:

starting

that:

to

that:

heave. “I’m

that:

leaving.

that:

For

that:

your

that:

sake

that:

as

that:

well

that:

as

that:

mine.”
“What

that:

good

that:

is

that:

safety

that:

if

that:

you

that:

spend

that:

it

that:

without

that:

the

that:

only

that:

thing

that:

you

that:

really want?”

that:

He

that:

asked. “We could

that:

quit,

that:

run

that:

away and

that:

spend

that:

all

that:

our

that:

years

that:

making

that:

love

that:

to

that:

each

that:

other.

that:

Somewhere where

that:

they

that:

won’t

that:

shoot

that:

us

that:

dead.”
“Where?”

that:

I

that:

ask,

that:

finally

that:

looking

that:

at

that:

him

that:

again. “Where

that:

in

that:

the

that:

world

that:

could

that:

we

that:

go

that:

that’d

that:

see

that:

us

that:

as

that:

people,

that:

huh?”
His

that:

wet,

that:

empty

that:

eyes

that:

meet

that:

mine,

that:

then

that:

he

that:

lowers

that:

his

that:

head

that:

again.
“Exactly.

that:

There

that:

ain’t

that:

a

that:

fuckin’

that:

country

that:

on

that:

earth that

that:

gives

that:

a

that:

shit

that:

about

that:

people

that:

like

that:

us.”

that:

I

that:

tell

that:

him,

that:

walking

that:

to

that:

the

that:

door. “Forget

that:

me.

that:

And

that:

I’ll

that:

forget

that:

you.”

that:

I

that:

lied.

Sunday 26th April 1992.

Cocaine

doesn’t

everything.
But

a

good

man

that:

would.
Shame

I

that:

sent

that:

the

that:

best

that:

one

I

that:

watch

that:

the

that:

small

that:

TV

that:

in

that:

the

that:

corner

that:

of

that:

my

that:

room.
It’s

that:

all

that:

in

Italian,

that:

of

that:

which

that:

I

that:

only

that:

know

that:

next

that:

to

that:

none.

that:

But

that:

I

that:

can

that:

tell

that:

which

that:

car

that:

Thomas

that:

is

that:

driving.

that:

Every

that:

time

that:

it

that:

follows it,

that:

a

that:

little

that:

graphic

that:

pops

that:

up

that:

with

that:

his

that:

name

that:

and

that:

a

that:

portrait

that:

of his

that:

pretty

that:

face

that:

next

that:

to

that:

it.

The

that:

first

that:

few

that:

lines

that:

of

that:

coke

that:

blotted

that:

out

that:

the

that:

sound

of

the

that:

breaking

up

that:

a

down

Dropped

by

that:

the

that:

label.

that:

Just

that:

the

that:

way

that:

I’d dropped

that:

my

that:

man.
Now

that:

I

that:

knew

that:

how

that:

it

that:

felt.

It

that:

was

that:

hard

that:

to

that:

find

that:

information

that:

about

that:

Thomas.

that:

He’s

that:

not

that:

that

that:

well-recognised a

that:

sports

that:

personality.

that:

This

World

that:

whatever

that:

it

that:

was,

that:

didn’t

that:

make

that:

front-page

that:

news.

that:

Either

that:

way.

that:

I had

that:

read

that:

all

that:

I

that:

could

that:

about

that:

him

that:

in

that:

the

that:

small

that:

columns.
I

that:

wanted

that:

to

that:

know

that:

if

that:

he

that:

still

that:

loved

that:

me. I

that:

wanted

that:

to

that:

know

that:

if

that:

I

that:

could

that:

say

that:

sorry.

that:

If

that:

I

that:

could

that:

take

that:

it

that:

all

that:

back.

that:

Still

that:

sacrifice

that:

this

that:

awful

that:

life

that:

I

that:

lead

that:

now

that:

for

that:

that

that:

of

that:

danger

that:

and

that:

his

that:

love.

In

that:

all

that:

his

that:

interviews,

that:

he

that:

never

that:

mentioned

that:

love

that:

once.

that:

As

that:

far

that:

as

that:

I

that:

could

that:

tell,

that:

he

that:

was

that:

still

that:

single, but

that:

too

that:

old

that:

now

that:

to

that:

be

that:

an

that:

eligible

that:

bachelor.

that:

Now

that:

in

that:

our

that:

early

that:

forties,

that:

we were

that:

both

that:

curiosities.

that:

Two

that:

single

that:

men

that:

who

that:

must

that:

have

that:

wives

that:

somewhere,

that:

right?

Another

that:

swig

that:

of

that:

bourbon.

that:

Maybe

that:

I’d

that:

be

that:

able

that:

to

that:

ring

that:

him

that:

up

that:

after

that:

the

that:

race.

that:

Find

that:

his

that:

number,

that:

tell

that:

him

that:

I

that:

loved him.

that:

That

that:

its

that:

my

that:

fault,

that:

that

that:

I

that:

regret

that:

every

that:

day

that:

we’re

apart.
I

that:

feel

the

The

the

Wh…

The

that:

commentators

that:

are

shrieking

and

shouting.
The

is

isn’t

It’s

down.
There’s

that:

fire

that:

coming

that:

out

of

it.
It’s…

that:

oh

my

that:

god.
I

that:

get

that:

to

that:

my

feet,

that:

but

that:

my

feet

that:

give

that:

way.
I

that:

stare

up

at

the

as

people

that:

swarm

that:

the

pull

the

driver

that:

out

of

it.
It’s

that:

him.
I

that:

struggle to

that:

my

that:

feet.
He’s

that:

going

that:

to

that:

die

that:

in

that:

there.
I

that:

reach

for

that:

the

that:

but

that:

I

that:

fall

that:

onto

that:

the

that:

mirror

that:

with

the

that:

drug on.
No, don’t sniff… oh god.

that:

As

that:

the

that:

powder

that:

shoots

that:

up

that:

my

that:

nose,

that:

I

that:

know

that:

I’ve

that:

made

that:

one

that:

last

that:

terrible

mistake.
Not

Tuesday 28th April 1992.
An undisclosed hospital,

that:

Monza,

that:

Italy

I

that:

didn’t

that:

realise

that:

how

that:

much

that:

I

that:

hated

that:

staying

that:

still

that:

until

that:

I

that:

had

that:

to

that:

do

that:

it.
Of

that:

the

that:

crash,

that:

I

that:

remember

that:

driving

that:

down

that:

towards

that:

the

that:

Parabolica, braking

that:

hard,

that:

and

that:

feeling

that:

something

that:

shatter

that:

under

that:

my

that:

foot. Then

that:

I

that:

remember

that:

the

that:

impact.

that:

Being

that:

upside-down,

that:

smelling

that:

fuel.

that:

Then

that:

fire.

that:

Then

that:

nothing.

I’ve

that:

been

that:

awake

that:

since

that:

Sunday

that:

evening.

that:

This is

that:

the

that:

first

that:

day

that:

that

that:

I’m

that:

trying

that:

the

that:

under-appreciated

that:

art

that:

of “walking”.
I

that:

sit

that:

up

that:

on

that:

the

that:

side

that:

of

that:

the

that:

bed.

that:

The

that:

nurse

that:

hands

that:

me

that:

crutches,

that:

and

that:

I

that:

hobble to

that:

my

that:

feet.

that:

My

that:

left

that:

leg’s

that:

broken,

that:

but

that:

that will

that:

heal.

that:

As

that:

will

that:

the

that:

burns.

that:

My

that:

concussion,

that:

well

that:

that

that:

won’t.

I

that:

creep

that:

my way

that:

out

that:

of

that:

the

that:

room,

that:

with

that:

the

that:

nurse

that:

watching me

that:

closely.
I

that:

kept

that:

moving,

that:

my

that:

strength

that:

faltering

that:

just

that:

in

that:

time

that:

for

that:

me

that:

to

that:

sit

that:

down

that:

in one of

that:

the

that:

waiting

that:

rooms.
I’m in a lot of

that:

pain,

that:

but

that:

a smile

that:

finds

that:

its

that:

way

that:

onto

that:

my

that:

face.

that:

We’re

that:

moving,

that:

Thomas.

that:

We’re

that:

moving.

I

that:

sit

that:

for

that:

a

that:

moment

that:

and take

that:

in

that:

the

that:

room.
A

that:

few

that:

nurses

that:

enter

that:

the

that:

room,

that:

leading

that:

behind

that:

them

that:

a…

that:

golden

that:

retriever.
Mother of

that:

god.
“What

that:

the

that:

hell

that:

are

that:

you

that:

doing

that:

here?”

that:

I

that:

ask.
Randy

that:

looks

that:

at

that:

me

that:

with

that:

wide

that:

eyes. “You…

that:

you

that:

survived?”
The

that:

nurse

that:

presses

that:

him

that:

down

that:

onto

that:

the

that:

chair

that:

next

that:

to

that:

me.
“Yes,

that:

I…

that:

had

that:

a

that:

small

that:

accident.

that:

What

that:

happened

that:

to

that:

you?”
He

that:

stared

that:

down

that:

at

that:

his

that:

hands. “I

that:

made

that:

some…

that:

poor

that:

choices.”

that:

He

that:

says. “About

that:

some

that:

things

that:

I

that:

put

that:

in

that:

my

that:

body.”
“Do

that:

you

that:

someone

that:

to

that:

help

that:

get you

that:

home?”

that:

I

that:

ask.
He

that:

raises

that:

his

that:

head and

that:

looks

that:

at

that:

me. “Do

that:

you?”
I

that:

go

that:

to

that:

answer,

that:

but

that:

I

that:

realise we’re

that:

being

that:

watched.
There’s a

that:

woman

that:

sat

that:

opposite,

that:

holding a

that:

newspaper.

that:

She’s

that:

looking

that:

between

that:

it,

that:

and

that:

the

that:

two

that:

of

that:

us.

I

that:

start

that:

to

that:

feel

that:

sick

that:

again.
I

that:

start

that:

to

that:

feel

that:

like I’m

that:

still

that:

in that

that:

burning

that:

car.
No…

that:

that’s

that:

impossible.
But

that:

as

that:

the

that:

newspaper

that:

is

that:

passed

that:

over

that:

the

that:

table, the

that:

doubt

that:

is

that:

all

that:

gone.

It

that:

looked

that:

exactly

that:

how

that:

I

that:

imagined

that:

it

that:

would.
A

that:

picture

that:

of

that:

me.
A

that:

picture

that:

of

that:

him.
A

that:

headline.
I

that:

didn’t

that:

know

that:

much

that:

Italian.
But I knew

that:

enough

that:

for

that:

that.



This

that:

was

that:

the

that:

first

that:

of

that:

two

that:

parts
