The Last Summer

The day after the Lraving I awoke to Dad's singing. It came from the kitchen where he was making breakfast. The sun was shining outside, the exams over and my whole life ahead. But I lay there, feeling wormy.

Then I remembered - Heather was pregnant. Heather's our mum. And forty-three.
Hell, the daughter's usually up the pole. Our family are always in reverse. Heather's hormones must have gone screwy. Or else the parents were sex fiends.
It was weird - for years they'd done nothing but yell at each other. Now this!
