The Mystery Box
Spring cleaning the garage today I came across a cardboard box stuffed with sheets of A4 paper and this photograph of me posing beside a ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland pool car. It was taken in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ car park in Inverness sometime in 1997.
Also in the box was an absorbing short story - partly typed, partly hand-written - about a man who goes into hospital for a gallstone operation and, when he regains consciousness, discovers he can't stop himself from singing Broadway show tunes.
There was also a gun, but this turned out to be a cigarette lighter.
I have no memory of writing the story nor of having the photograph taken. I have never smoked.
Spooky.
