The sun glistened off Parliame...My favourite lines:<br />The sun glistened off Parliament’s windows, but it was the wind not the architecture that took his breath away....<br /> Alexi had a cigarette in his mouth with ash clinging to the tip. Scissors in the right hand, comb in the left, Alexi was clipping, talking and smoking, with Radio 1 playing in the background....<br /><br />The smile vanished despite Clifton’s best attempts at keeping hold of it. He tried to call it back, but it was long gone, a grimace would have to do....<br />Just as Clifton got to the toilet, Belanger came out, yesterday this would have been all so normal but today it was oh so strange. Belanger ran his fingers through his newly cropped hair as if making a point, and then walked down the corridor. Clifton watched him go, it seemed a sombre walk, an executioner’s walk.Petra Goláňovánoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817214483007465548.post-24595686658910597902015-10-23T20:25:06.121+02:002015-10-23T20:25:06.121+02:00There can't be two just Haircut stories:-) I l...There can't be two just Haircut stories:-) I like this old haircut story a lot. And I don't know why today's story reminded me of this Mistaken Identities one. I thought it had a bit similar atmosphere... maybe the fact that the character kept seeing familiar faces all the time:-) sometimes you don't know:-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817214483007465548.post-76480724937447208362015-10-23T18:46:55.924+02:002015-10-23T18:46:55.924+02:00I've changed the title of this, I don't kn...I've changed the title of this, I don't know why I didn't think of the title before. I hope there will be more to this story. <br />I don't know why it reminded you of the mistaken identities one, very different :-)Garethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498547549063645097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2817214483007465548.post-48928867903107873632015-10-23T10:39:02.370+02:002015-10-23T10:39:02.370+02:00oh, it gave me goose pimples:-) I like the stories...oh, it gave me goose pimples:-) I like the stories that have the air of paranoia or psychosis:-) For some reason this one reminded me of "A Case of Mistaken Identities", but also the story with exactly the same title, which you wrote a long time ago "The Haircut"<br />http://garethsshortstoryblog.blogspot.com/2014/08/a-case-of-mistaken-identities.html<br />http://garethsshortstoryblog.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-haircut.html<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
