Had to hurry straight home after work to do nothing at all. All I want to do tonight is play computer games. Not go out, not get drunk. I just want to spend this heatwave exactly like I spent summers when I was a kid - staying up late in my room, tidying, reading, playing games and lying in an exhausted repose at the end of a long uneventful day, sweet scent of sweat-dappled legs on clean cotton sheets lingering in the air, watching the nightly fly-ballet as each chases another around a bare lightbulb. All so very long ago.
