Liberty

He didn’t know her very well.

They had met again recently at a friend’s birthday party. They had only chatted briefly, because she was there with her new boyfriend and she seemed to only have eyes for him. There was music going all through the evening and they danced together just about the whole time. She was obviously madly in love with the guy, or was she drunk? Either way, he got the impression that her feelings for him were a little over the top; maybe a touch too intense. Despite these negative considerations, he thought she was nice enough and hoped things worked out for them.

He was taken by surprise, just a couple of days later, when he received a late-night call from her. He recognised her voice straight away, although her speech was slurred, giving him the impression that she’d been drinking.

She started with, “Sorry about the…” A brief silence was followed by a burp.

“Lateness?” he suggested.

“Right, lateness.” She blew her nose. “Sorry.” she repeated, and seemed to sober up slightly. “I think I need some help.”

“Go on.”

“It’s him.”

“Him?”

“Yes, him. He was just like all the others!”

“He was?”

“Yes, he was, just like all the others, so he had to go.”

“You brushed him off, then.”

“No. He had to go. That’s why I’m calling you. He’s wrapped in an old blanket, and I’ve found the ideal spot for him in the garden.”

A long pause. “And you’re calling me, why?”

“I’ve been searching through the shed…”

“And?”

Another long pause, then. “You seemed nice, and it might be a bit of a liberty, but… I need a shovel.”
