Graham
My grandfather used to ask me: When the day comes when you lose everything – what will you do? I never seriously thought about the answer to this question, but always said what came to my mind first at that moment.
When I was six years old and my brother deliberately broke my toy excavator, it was: Then I’ll repair the excavator.
When we were ten, when we moved from Manchester to near London, I said defiantly: I’ll just look for new friends.
And when my mum died and I tried to be strong for my dad and my brother as a seventeen-year-old: We will make it.
Even then, giving up was not an option for me.
But now, at almost twenty-four years old, in this office where I suddenly feel like a criminal, I have no answer. My situation seems hopeless at this moment, my future uncertain. I don’t know how to go on now.
I pull open the squeaky drawer of the heavy cherry wood desk and dig out the pens and notepads that have found their place there last year. My movements are slow, my arms leaden. I have to hurry: I am supposed to leave the building before the lunch break is over.
They are suspended with immediate effect. I forbid you any contact with students of Maxton Hall. If you violate this prohibition, charges will be filed against you.
The pens fall out of my hand and land clattering on the floor.
Damn crap.
I bend down, collect them and throw them carelessly with the rest of the belongings that I have stowed in a cardboard box. It’s a wild jumble of notes, textbooks, my grandfather’s old globe and teaching materials that I copied for tomorrow and should actually throw away now, but can’t bring myself to do it.
