 Short Story by Judy Darley
Whenever the chance arose, Lorna volunteered to work nights, because it allowed her to run in the cemetery during the day. It was her pay-off for all the junk food consumed during her paramedic shifts – she told her flat-mate Charlotte that the runs were her ‘health insurance’ against all the rubbish she filled her body with, stalling off boredom and smothering stress.
