It was the
day of the tweed run, happy smiling cyclists in all manner of 1940s attire
weaved their way across central London. A chorus of bells rang and children
pointed gleefully.
A large man
stumbled haphazardly down the crowded street. He looked like King Kong star
Adrian Brody's skin had been inexpertly stuffed by an alien taxidermist with no
grasp of the human form. Around him shoved pedestrians gave him dirty looks, he
was a sallow fleshy cloud in their otherwise clear sunny days.
In a fat
misshapen paw he grasped a crumpled forlorn Guinness hat.
Ponderously
he climbed the stairs to McDonalds, bingo wings flapping rythmically like a
chick's first flight. He paused at the top, imagining that he tasted bitter
lactic acid in his mouth. His whole chubby red body pulsed with exertion. With
clammy hands he fumbled at the door handle and pulled. It was a push door.
