He was screaming, this boy, in the middle of the road. He'd been there all day. He looked a bit like your son, you thought, but your son would have been at school by now.

Perhaps you didn't even love it but hated it, and had known so little love and so little hate you couldn't tell which was which.

And still he was crying. What would you do?
