I WAS SHAKING LIKE A
LEAF AND I FELT SICK.
MY HEART FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BURST OUT
OF MY CHEST.
‘
HE WENT ON: ‘I PANICKED AND SLUNG THE KNIFE IN THE RIVER.
I WAS TRYING TO FATHOM OUT WHAT I HAD DONE.
I JUST CANNOT REMEMBER.

I MUST HAVE LOST MY

YOU DON’T DO THAT IN A NORMAL STATE OF MIND.
I NEVER WENT
ROUND THERE TO CAUSE ANYONE ANY SERIOUS HARM.
