Susan sat in the traffic queue watching the oncoming drivers. She played a game, guessing which songs they were singing along to. She reckoned that she was learning to lip read as she flicked from one radio station to another. But one man never smiled. Just mouthed 'rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb'.
I bet his name was Howard or Grantley. Something already odd. There's power in names, see. Power to define a person. Oh, parents give them out without much thought beyond the sound a name makes to their ears. But give a child an odd name, he'll be odd. For sure.
I love the connections going on here!
