Maybe the motorbike is a ghostly reminder of the previous generations disastrous attempt to quell the power (Nancy's beau was killed on it, wasn't he?) but the figure in the trees is just a mystery. <BR/><BR/>Dorothy - that language is something else! But I have never come across a teenager, even one of 40 years ago, with that kind of hybrid speech!litlovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952927245186474480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30395167.post-79916278152687313822007-12-01T17:40:00.000-06:002007-12-01T17:40:00.000-06:00I love your description of the language, Litlove. ...I love your description of the language, Litlove.

The scratching in the attic, the smell of petrol, the motorbike that is always heard but never seen, the figure in the trees which may be Gwyn but probably isn't. <BR/><BR/>Funny that you wanted the story to be about the parents.
