Lonely Hearts · Ref. 0081
I am the man who arrives forty minutes early to everything. I have now seen the inside of the village hall being set up more times than I have seen it being used, and the caretaker and I have an understanding that neither of us enjoys. Seeking someone who is late, so that I might finally experience suspense.

- Fifty-two. I have a shed with a chair in it, and I go out there to think, and what I think about, almost exclusively, is the shed. Seeking someone who will sit in a second chair I have not yet bought, in a shed that cannot accommodate it.Ref. 0082
- I have been described, by my own sister, at a family lunch, in front of a trifle, as the human equivalent of a waiting room. I did not argue, because I had nothing prepared, which rather proved her case. Seeking someone who needs somewhere to sit quietly until something better is ready for them.Ref. 0083
