The Interview

"Be quick,” I demanded. "My mind wanders"

She looked up at me with nostrils flared and continued sewing.

“Stop muttering!” I screamed

“b.b…b..but I”

“Silence!!” I shrieked as I cuffed her with her own purse

She fell onto a pile of rags clutching her reddened cheek. I turned my head away adjusting my collar. I had no time for her antics today, I didn’t even flinch as the door slammed shut, no guilt as I heard her stumbling down the corridor. Wailing.

Big changes, I thought to myself

Big changes in my life were just around the corner. And do you know what? A part of me was scared as hell. I didn’t feel prepared for it. Oh sure, I’d had all the training. On paper, perhaps a little over qualified even. But still. The thought of holding those children’s lives in my hands, the responsibility I was be given, the trust.

It was overwhelming….

It took about 30 mins to get there, I ran through the pleasantries, the shaking of hands and nodding of heads. I was eager to get the red meat. The fatty red meat.

As they’re words washed over me I descended into a daydream, their reality fizzed away as I replayed my more recent moments in my head

The truth is I’d lost interest in sex, even masturbating was a chore. The only thing that consumed me was wrapping up small kittens in plastic bags from Sainburys and drowning them in the upstairs toilet. But this, I knew, wasn’t going to help me get the job

I had to gather all my brains and strength, I kept thinking of my mother, she was a huge Christian woman, with an enormous bosom to boot. Her hair was a scraggy plat of ginger locks, my father used to follow the postman around and would come home late smelling of women.

I awoke again

‘So’, he said clasping his hands together, ‘would you like to see the ball park now?’

I smiled, knowing the bartering would have to be made if he was to offer me the job. I knew I could seal the deal, I slid off my chair on knelt before him, removing my surgical gloves

‘wh..wh.. what are you doing’, he asked hurriedly

I hushed his mouth with my finger as I lowered his tennis shorts
