He whipped the phone out of his pocket and looked at it in puzzlement. It was metallic pink, and had a charm attached.
Stephen examined the charm, with as much focus as his hangover would allow him. It looked like a tiny silver whale.
He had never seen the phone before, but he read the text message anyway. He then immediately wished he hadn't ....
"Am I going to make it through this day?" thought Stephen as he put down the chainsaw. As if it wasn't bad enough to feel so sick with drink now he'd have to go hunting that young one whose phone he lifted by accident. He really couldn't believe the message though - he had to look at least twice. Could it really be ... ?
Just then his missus burst into the shed.
"What the hell do you think you're doing taking up smoking again, you fecker! You know it's going to kill you - you know! I found a half-smoked packet of fags next to your pillow you EEJIT!"
"It was only a dozen or so Maeve, I don't think I'll be even drinking again after today let alone smoking"
"Bloody right you won't - if you come back here smelling of fags then you'll find your dinner in the bin on top of your DIE HARD PREMIUM COLLECTION and you will find me at MY SISTER'S IN MIDLETON
FOR THE WEEK".
Stephen watched his wife storm back up the garden path and looked at the phone again. He really and truly couldn't believe it: That young one's boyfriend had just bought a new PS4 for 200 quid - he had been totally ripped off with what he paid!
Could the day get any worse he thought as he lumbered up the drive with the chainsaw in his right hand. As he exited the garden out the front gate he didn't really take any notice of the pillar with the name of his house on it: "Béal An Baile"
Little did he know he would never see that stone pillar ever again.
