The Story
1 – Young and Able – Chris Brooker
Sitting here now, I stare past the fading walls into years of bygone achievement; a beautiful family, boundless vision and the agency to pursue it. Did the world leave me behind, or did I shut it out? Wisdom then would have helped; now it only draws my mind to the places I went wrong.
2 – Knowing Nothing At All – Chris and Charlie Eaton
I was young- it started on a whim. A chance meeting at a party hosted by a mutual friend…but you were already planning to leave, to travel the world. I felt boring– ready for change. No plans, full of hope; for the first time in my life, spontaneity became King.
3 – The Constant Rhythm – Chris Eaton
We forgot everyone else and stepped blindly, blissfully, into the future. You were all consuming; all the intoxication I needed. Happily entangled, we never questioned the effortless rhythm our lives assumed. It never even occurred to me that something could drag us out of synchrony.
4 – Colonel Mustard – Chris Eaton
Gotta keep going faster- whiskeys all round! I’ve got a new mistress I just can’t seem to please, and I know I’m waking up on that old yellow lounge tomorrow. Here’s to another big one, then!
5-Black Candle – Chris Brooker
When the black candle flickers, ‘despise’ doesn’t look so different from ‘desire’. Your face becomes grotesque, and until the black candle’s light shifts again, you’re changed beyond recognition.
6-Something Wrong – Chris Brooker
By now it had complete control of me; in the rare hours of rational thought, I struggled with demons that lurked inside my head, tormenting me. Knowing that as soon as I succumbed….leaving home, turning away. Incapable of even acknowledging my self-inflicted prison.
7- Meet You at the End – Chris Brooker
Every day the same mistakes-the same desperate lunge for an echo of fulfilment. Unable to regret the insidious slide, I relinquished each shard of innocence with relish; any dreams gone by the wayside just to make me feel normal. The long term suffers for the short term’s gain, but six months’ time is another man’s pain…
8-Sons of Liberty – Chris Eaton
You raise them to be independent, but that means letting them make their own choices. The vessel for so much hope and promise; half a lifetime’s care, but still the last voice you want to hear at 3 am. In the ethereal stillness of the deep night, that phone call never bodes well.
9-Miss Fortune – Chris Eaton
There’s a hole in my bucket and I just can’t seem to fix it. The years go rushing through as I watch, half resigned, hoping to save something worthwhile. I’ll never know exactly where the damage was done; I’m not quite smart enough to work it out. All I know is that I desperately need help mending it.
10-Shocky – Chris Eaton
A friend from another life, these days we hardly spoke. Our different paths made me forget how close we were, before the 3 am call came as a stark reminder. Somehow, I wasn’t at all shocked.
Any resemblance to persons living or dead is the source of all inspiration and is entirely intentional. How it all finishes is still unclear – I’ll meet you at the end and we’ll find out together.
