Four AM by Joanne Surridge begins at the heart of the action. This is, of course, the part of a story any writing course would tell you to begin with, but Surridge takes this direction to another level.
We meet our protagonist at the staircase depicted on the cover, with ‘him’ ‘lying there at the bottom in his vest and pants, nice and clean.’ But things started out rather differently – a mirror image, one might say.
A truly touching tale, Surridge’s characterisations are spot-on, masterfully evoking rounded people with minimal detail. A highly recommended short story.
