Paid up, but forever down
There was no sign of an intruder, nothing broken, nothing out of place.
The very next morning, Giorgio received £600, in cash, delivered by courier. The 'bank of mum and dad' had agreed a loan, with interest. That interest was not financial, but they were most interested in every aspect of Dawn’s expenditure, debts and lifestyle. Her ways must change.
The painting miraculously lost its signs of a gunshot and the unblemished picture of Dawn was restored. But anyone seeing it might wonder why on earth she wore such a glum face.
But maybe Giorgio had seen into her soul.

That's it... silly but a bit of fun on an April day.

Thanks for reading Drew. I had fun writing it. I’d better get back to Livia and co soon though... I’ve kept readers waiting too long!

Wonderful! Like a really good unfilmed episode of The Twilight Zone. I should read it again in Rod Serling's voice!
(And, yes, I've been wondering about Fedelta.)

She might not be beyond redemption! Very much enjoyed Neville, and concur with Christopher..Shades of 'Tales of the Unexpected' too! Thanks for the ride. :-)

Thanks very much Jamie. As I mentioned above, it was fun writing it. But maybe it was an activity distracting me from getting on with my main task of completing Fedelta, but I need real energy for that (and memory!)
