Where I Live is A Curveball
It was a wonky town, Hastings, built on cobblestone and disfigured brick. Sometimes it feels so sleepy but you know it's sitting on these secrets like roots under paving slabs. The weeds will soon start shooting through the cracks in the pavements like little worms of sprouting truth.
George Street is the main shopping street in the Old Town. People say it's charming but that's just a blanket word for crappy and small and falling apart. Mum says I don't appreciate it properly. The road is cobbled together with misfitting odd ends of stone; the shops are dinky and twee with old-fashioned fronts, beams and wavy glass windows. Other than the antique shops, teahouses and pubs, which seems to make up the majority of Hastings, there really isn't much on the strip for a teenager. If you walk uo, which is the only way other than the sea, there are winding weirdo alleys, all bent like crooked teeth, and steps and houses shoved next to each other - too close, like overstuffed bookshelves. Slanted roofs, pokey chimneys, crumbling brickwork and windows and doors all weather beaten and nibbled on by the hungry mouth of the sea air.
I live at the top of the hill and that hill, I swear to god, is so steep, it feels like you could kiss your shoes when you are walking up it.
But that's Hastings all over. Where I live is a curveball. It reminds you that the globe is round.
But it feels like the only place that exists on it.

Chairs Can't Piss You Like People Can
Flynn, like me, is smart enough to go to college, but he just doesn't want to. Flynn lives in a converted lighthouse on the seafront with his nutty old granddad Iris. They turned the bottom of it into a wild little shop where they deal in antiques. Iris is as old as Hastings; everybody days he is mad but I don't mind him. Flynn does what he does. He feels much more comfortable around objects than people anyway, and although I sometimes worry about the idea of Iris influencing Flynn 24/7, I kind of don't blame him for keeping his head down and working at the shop. Chairs can't piss you like people can.

The Way of the Heart
Beaver was known for his wisdom, and in that moment Otter knew he had found the wisdom he had not known he was looking for.
"Are you saying ... " Otter began.
"I am saying," said Beaver, "that there is the way of the otter and there is the way of the heart. It's up to you to decide which to follow."

If I ever Fell in Love with an Apple
"Apple are awfully tasty," Beaver went on. "Tastier, I find, than fish."
Otter pulled himself up onto a log to look Beaver in the eye.
"Have you ever eaten fish?" Otter asked.
"No," said Beaver, "but I suppose I might if I ever fell in love with an apple."

Only Found His Heart
"Have you heard about Otter?" it began (the talking, that is).
"He was always odd. Now he is odder."
"He has lost his mind," some said, unable to see that he had lost nothing, only found his heart.
"It isn't right."
"It isn't natural."
"It isn't the way of otter."

Not A Perfect World
In a perfect world, it would be written, And they lived happily ever after.
In a perfect world, an otter could fall in love with a fish, and a fish with an otter, and that would be that.
But it is not a perfect world, alas, and so that is seldom as simple as that.
