A sordid festival comes to a premature and devastating end, leaving the life of an adolescent boy changed forever. Many years later and he's shared the secret with no one, not his ailing father, his new wife, or even his cat. But just when it’s nearly forgotten, the event he witnessed that day takes on a bizarre new significance. It all starts when he hears a voice inside the paving stones.

A haunting short story by an innovative new voice in UK fiction, known for his recent debut novel “Tiptoe.”
