And then there was one (part twenty-seven)

Mark sat back in the armchair making sure he was comfortable. I have a feeling this is going to take a while. He thought to himself. “Mark, can I ask you not to interrupt, until I am finished, no matter what you think?” “Okay I promise now can we get on with this?” Mark responded. Joanne reached...

And then there was one (part twenty-six)

If Joanne lives here why haven’t I seen her before?” Mark wondered. Maybe she hasn’t been here long and I know we hardly came over. “Are you going to come in Mark?” Joanne asked. “Yes sorry I am just very confused.” Mark replied. ”I knew you would be that’s why I didn’t say anything.” “This is the...

And then there was one (part twenty-five)

Neither of them spoke for quite a while, Joanne concentrating as it was getting darker and Mark still racking his brains for answers, when Joanne finally broke the silence. “I mean what I say Mark this story is unbelievable.” “I don’t care how far-fetched I just want my family home.” Mark responded....

And then there was one (part twenty-four)

“There is no way I want us to stay here to talk Mark.” Joanne told him. “Then why get me to meet you here?” Mark asked. “Told you for trust how was I supposed to know you wouldn’t think it was anything to do with me and bring the police?” “All I want is my family back and if you can help I wouldn’t...

And then there was one (part twenty-three)

Arriving at the burger bar Mark was dismayed to see that it was packed and sitting was going to be impossible. All he could do was purchase the food and find somewhere to go and eat it. The queue seemed to move in slow motion. At least this is killing time. Mark thought to himself with a wry smile.... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one (part twenty-two)

Back on the streets that had filled up with workers finishing for the day, Mark wondered what he could go and blow all his money on. He didn’t want the money, and would sooner have his wife back, but the money and her disappearance were obviously connected. I wish time would really speed up I am... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one (part twenty-one)

The phone rang for about five minutes before Mark hung up. He wondered why Joanne didn’t answer and then just assumed that she was busy, he would try again later. Finishing getting ready after his shower Mark was at a loss as to what to do. He knew that talking to Joanne seemed to be important but... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one (part twenty)

As fast as he could Mark gathered a few clothes together. He really needed to get out of the house and he wouldn’t come back either, not alone. Filling a dustbin liner with three pairs of trousers, three tops, underwear and socks Mark left the house and walked off down the street, pausing to look... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one (part nineteen)

Mark quickly thrust the letter into his pocket and went to leave the house. At least his marriage wasn’t over, not yet at least, he just didn’t know what would happen in his life next. Surely that will be the end of the shocks. Mark thought to himself more in hope than anything else. Almost out of... Sign in to see full entry.

And then there was one (part eighteen)

Mark took the envelope and sat on the sofa. Turning the letter over and over in his hands Mark looked around the room. Apart from the missing ornaments everything else seemed more or less in the right place. Things were by no means perfect and just a quick glance could tell him that the sofa had...
