Part 1: The Fair Weather Runner
by Guy Jones

ong, long ago. When social distancing was what you did when your mate, who had had tripe for lunch, dropped a 'silent but deadly', in the crowded carriage of the 5:32 p.m. from Manchester Piccadilly.

In those days, when the world was a little younger, we did things together. In those days we had a social life and it wasn’t at all distanced. In those days, some of us ... though it seems strange to say to now ... some of us went running ... at organised events ... yes some of us ran races.

Kobi hadn’t yet gotten out of bed, and was in fact just settling in in front of an Alf rerun, when the cockroaches arrived. They marched straight in under the curtain that separated his bedroom from the rest of the double-wide and up the leg of his pull-out bed in single file, then assembled by his feet in perfect ranks and rows. He closed his eyes in weary resignation. The boys are back, he thought, and they’ll want blood.
