Stephen Holmes is the type of person for whom every silver cloud has a black lining. Up to now he has led a fairly uneventful life. Uneventful that is if you forget that everything he touches has a knack of turning to dust or biting back. So much so that after nearly a decade as a bank clerk he has not progresses more than one tiny step up the promotion ladder; so much so that he’s really given up on living and thinks of himself as just existing; so much so that you’d hardy call him a good catch or for that matter any sort of catch.

But he knows that every time someone fills up his glass with beer it has a habit of leaking out through unnoticed cracks, so can it all be true, and are there really new horizons ahead? Views: 31
