Watch (October)

October watches from the cast iron balcony. His screensaver of wrought ferntrees and lyrebirds is (as expected) tasteful; vanishes to black with time lapse. His likes and wows and laughs and sads pass the solitary window day and night, even the odd angry shot. It is curious, watching the whole world without shifting an inch. ‘Nowhere Man’ plays on youtube loop. October keeps its cast iron alibis, was at the computer at the time in question and never left through the entire episode. He was working on his autobiography ‘Isn’t He A Bit Like You?’, his only company a mouse.
