The Runaway Lass
She came eerily from the cold outdoors, knocking at the door in distress.
A young girl, perhaps 15 years of age, dishevelled, desperate, saying she was lost and needing a place to stay. She said she only needed one night, reducing her plea to a few hours in response to my palpable reluctance.
Her thick Italian accent made the facts hard to extract, but it seemed she was running from the family home her school exchange had placed her in.
I wanted to help, but it was all so troubling and frantic. I posed questions to hold her at bay before finally letting her small and tortured figure into the house. I led her into the living room as my housemates lurked high in the stairwell, studiously avoiding the unfolding.
I now felt swamped in the very stuff of Crimewatch reconstructions, something surreal yet so immediate. Attempting to summon my inner counsellor, I began making her a cup of tea and asked if she could say more of her struggle.
The Boyf
Then another rap at the door. I jolted, now on edge, sensing another ominous turn. Her face scrunched with renewed horror, quickening my concern.
I turned to the door as she popped up with knowing alarm.
….
What truly happened that night, I’ll never quite know.
