Thanks for reading and leaving a comment.

That’s a really good question actually. My hair is pretty long now. I usually just wear it back and actually don’t think about it a whole lot. My mother is usually the one who cuts my hair. We don’t have an actual barber in District 12, which is not surprising. I think, before the reaping last year, my Mom trimmed my hair, but I haven’t gotten it specifically cut since before my father died, I believe, which was some time ago. Too long ago, actually. Hair is something I’m just used to having. Prim, my little sister, gets regular trims from my mum, but her hair is much prettier than mine anyway, so I’d prefer her to take better care of hers. So, I have had it trimmed recently, but not a significant cut. I don’t think I’d ever want it significantly cut again. I like it the way it is.

Doyle looked at the card from the Counsellor for a long time before he set it aside and microwaved his evening meal. Then he sat at the desk with the hot ready-meal beside him, and started to type, slowly.

“I’ve thought about this question, I really have, but I don’t see any point. I wouldn’t be able to change anything. The main thing that went wrong isn’t under my control. Not in any way. Going back wouldn’t make any difference to it.

Nowadays I can control it a little – I can let it out when I need it, but the trouble is I can’t keep it in, not far enough.
People are always going to know, in the end.

You can’t change the past, it’s always with you; like your genes. There’s no point.

If I could go back and talk to myself I suppose I could tell myself to listen to Harriet more. I didn’t want to lose my old friends, the people from before it happened. She wanted me to – I don’t know how to put it, explore my new self or something.

The thing is, if there’s a respectable demon middle-class I wasn’t in a position to find it. I hadn’t got the contacts. I still don’t have the contacts. That reads as though I was making excuses, but – later on Harriet found herself one who was like a stereotype of a prosperous, dull, petit-bourgeois restaurant owner. Mr Dull. He and his family tried to murder me. No malice involved – it was just their custom. What can you do in a situation like that?)

The laptop screen was getting worn or something, and anyway his eyes were stinging. He printed out a first draft and started to edit it with a pen.

After a few minutes he remembered his ready-meal and started to fork the food into his mouth without tasting it

Doyle.
Angel, the series.
