Today... Freda searched through a new box of 7" singles at Oxfam. Marjorie, the volunteer, always let her have first dibs. Freda loved the thrill of nostalgia that coursed through her just from seeing a title/artist until she picked up You Don't Love Me by Marilyn.

Today... Freda recalled finding her Two Tribes single warped beyond playable by the sun. She vowed to never let Brenda borrow anymore music, adding she hated her. They never spoke again & reading her obituary in the paper sparked 30 years of regret all over again.

Today... Freda faced questions about her nightmares from her best friend & part-time dream therapist Margaret. But the zombie woman was of no interest. She seemed intent on uncovering who she'd killed. Apparently, Freda talks in her sleep & that is as good as a full confession.

Today... Freda destroyed the one picture her parents liked, or at least displayed, before they perished in a car accident in Italy. At least that's what the official record says. Their charred remained were unrecognisable & she wouldn't put it past them to fake their own deaths.

Today... Freda damned her choice of footwear on this snowy evening when she failed to reach the tube station while being pursued by a strange man. Waking up blind-folded, gaffer-taped to a chair, the silence made her believe she was no longer in London.

Today... Freda's dream had her trapped in 1982 until she woke up in a sweat; late for work. The building site neighbouring the office she cleaned had a fence panel missing. She peered in & the Bow Wow Wow poster from her nightmare clung to the remains of a wall being demolished.

Today... Freda came to by an advertising hoarding in Leeds following a nightmare about being hit by a bus. She had no idea how she got here from Telford but peering through a gap she saw the only person she knew in Leeds - Tim. The man who humiliated her in Ibiza. She shot him.

Today... Freda stared up at the dog-eared Adam Ant poster that clung to her bedroom wall. She was jobless, potless & back living with her parents. She reflected on the last job she had & how whistleblowing had resulted in her being managed out rather than the perp being sacked.

Today... Freda's honeymoon started with a fight. This surprise burst of rage revealed a side to Peter she hadn't seen yet during their 3 month, whirlwind romance. He confiscated her passport & told her it was for her own good. She parked her fear & plotted her escape from him.

Today... Freda strode out to her 1st stand up gig. Apart from the odd butterfly, she was relaxed. Until Phil - her ex -took his seat during the break. After a port & brandy to settle the nerves, she forgot her routine, locked eyes with the twat & roasted him for 10 mins straight.

Today... Freda picked up Gerald in a hotel bar & together they drank the afternoon away before heading back to hers. He entered the home 1st & she pointed him towards the kitchen. He froze upon opening the door & she stabbed him. He fell, dying, onto 4 other corpses gasping: Why?

Today... Beryl waited outside the bookmakers that had taken her savings & caused her husband's suicide. At 72 she was invisible to the small-time gangster who ran it. She reached the counter & fired the 1992 service revolver she'd found in a toolbox before turning it on herself.

Today... Brian was arrested for punching the council official who binned his redundant ES pitch. When he left the station, he got caught in the rain. Brian danced through puddles as people fled for cover. He tore off his coat and jumper; screamed at the skies through teary eyes.
