Hot Flushes

by Jack Sanger

The three women were, in their separate ways, haplessly exposing their nerves. With their forties bearing down on them like trucks out of control, they were trying to move semi-paralysed limbs out of the line of collision. They had seen older friends go through it; the brush with mortality that turns hair grey suddenly, puts a paunch under the stretch scars of motherhood and stamps new deeply-etched lines upon the face. In a kind of frozen autism, their self-obsessions distanced them from the cacophony of the world around them. Then they became aware of what their husbands had conspired to do.
