The first thing that happens is that i unseal an envelope and Dads death falls out onto breakfast table. I always thought I'd learn about it from the papers first, or that maybe news like this would be delivered by an Angel, holding out a gilded scroll, it's perfect face scribbled with sorrow. Instead I'm sitting with morning hair, wearing inside-out pyjamas, reading a letter printed in ordinary black ink on white office paper. The letterhead reads 'Berkley & Co', and they've sent a short message informing us of his death. I'm requested at a meeting with his solicitor this afternoon, 'with regard to my inheritance.
There's no mention of Mum, which is strange. It's addressed only to me. I'm not really sure what to feel. I was halfway through a bowl of cereal when I opened the letter, and my wheat flakes have melted into something that looks like wet brown sand. I pick up the remains of my breakfast and move over to the sink. Outside, in the back garden Ham whimpers and batters at the door. I put him out there and forgot;he use be soaked by now.
