The Day
Ray turns the CD player off as he answers the phone. The sound of waves crashing against a beach fills his ear. Jenny wipes the plate and puts it on the draining board. A man appears at the kitchen window. Benjamin pulls the car into the drive and gets out. He hears a noise in the garage. Mary locks her front door and buttons up her coat. A man with a burnt face steps out of the neighbour's porch. John kicks the swing harder. The swing next to him is grabbed by a man wearing purple rubber gloves. Diane slips the file in the cabinet. The door to the stairwell opens and a man with a length of rope walks towards her. Sarah switches on the TV. She flicks through the channels looking for one not showing a sea life documentary. Andrew pulls on his t shirt as he walks into the living room. A man with blood on his face is sat watching TV. Gordon checks the display on the digital camera to check if the picture of his wife is blurred. He hears his wife say his name with fear in her voice. Dan switches the computer on and loosens his tie. Something yellow smashes against the window behind him. Anne-Marie puts her dog on his leash. She notices a man in a long black coat sat in a tree. Janet wipes her nose as she carries her shopping home past an alleyway. A man with a stocking on his face steps in front of her. Simon turns the volume up on his stereo as he turns the car onto the back road. He feels the car rock hard as something moves in the back seat. Sue uses a trowel to remove a weed from her rose patch. A dark shape leaps the garden wall and moves towards Sue, ignoring her question. Andrea takes off her coat and hangs it on the peg by the front door. A bruised hand slips through the letter box and begins to pull on the string for the spare key. David closes the dictionary and puts it back on the shelf. Behind him he hears shears open. Ron opens his eyes and looks at the time on the clock. He hears his window being opened. Marcus slips the DVD into the machine and presses play on the remote. A man with a hidden face walks into the room and knocks the remote out of his hand. Claire locks her bike up by the art department and checks her portfolio. A figure grabs her from behind and covers her mouth with a purple hand. Adam leans against the wall to tighten his trainers. Something long and black with a white hand on the end is slung over the wall. Amanda squeezes a blob of shower gel into her palm. The warm water spraying on her body turns purple. Richard posts the leaflet in the door and moves on to the next house. Something large and yellow appears in the glass of the door and he feels his fingers jam in the letter box. Celia sticks her thumb out as she walks beside the road to the next town. A grey car with windows so scratched they hide the interior slows to a stop and signals to her with rear purple lights. Paul rummages through his toy-box looking for his favourite action figure. His hand closes on something that makes him shout out. June leans on her walking stick to answer the door. A man with a swollen purple face and yellow overalls pushes the door open for her.
