Mr. Quibble turned and with his raised glass, pointed to the far end of the bar. An old looking clock was propped up against the side wall on the bar edge. 'That clock you have over there. I do hope you have it insured because I certainly wouldn't be leaving it in such a prominent position, certainly not in this day and age.'
'You wot?' Phil said, surprised. 'Yer tellin' me it's worth somethin'?'
'A pretty penny,' Mr. Quibble said with a grin. 'Well, assuming it's not a very good copy of course. I would have to have a closer inspection- I'm sorry, but my eyes are not what they used to be.'

The Daylight Room and other short stories
'You should write a story about that.' It's a line that writers hear a lot, a bit like comedians in a bar being told. 'Here's a joke for you.' Best to smile politely and change the subject or get a round in. There are occasions when I didn't do either, and there will be occasions I don't do that in the future. These stories are and will be the result. I also include the background to the story for the curious but I'll keep the identities secret. I don't want you chasing them down in search of ideas for your next novel. :) The Daylight Room: A very young boy understands that what he did was wrong. What he doesn't understand is that the punishment is much, much wronger.
