31 Flicker

Josh walks quickly back into the house and runs his arm under the cold tap. He has a deep wound just at the back of his wrist. He wraps a bandage on it. He looks around in the cabinets for pain-killers. He sees some pills in a small container and he pops a couple.

After patching himself up he goes back to rummaging around again in the boxes in the shed. He brings one into the house to look through. There are some old-style cassette tapes in the box and also a small recorder/player. Josh smiles a bit. What has his old mate recorded on these tapes he wonders. Is it just nonsense, or something more important? He looks at the notes on the insert-cards to give him an idea. And then he puts a tape in the machine to see if it will play. Just at that point the fluorescent light on a shelf nearby flicks on, and then back off again.
