'Nightbirds' excerpt

Bron looks tired and very pale. There’s a slightly mad look in her eye – the same one she used to get at the Woodlands Road flat if she’d been cooped up too long. I can’t remember the last time she changed out of her red dressing gown, and I don’t think she’s had a bath for two weeks. The overall effect is a bit like if Kate Bush in the Wuthering Heights video had been paused mid-pivot, dropped like a spider into a jam jar and told she wasn’t allowed to dance anymore.  
Bron has always reminded me of Kate Bush, minus the dreamy, slightly wandered eyes. Bron could remained ruffled and unwashed for the rest of her life and her eyes would still be sharp and quick.

If a bit wild.
