The Outsider

On a normal day, a bizarre tragic thing happened.

The world cried out for answers, but the one man who might have had them had none to give.

“The news said it was a plot by Al Qaida or Islamic State. Twitter and that shouty American bloke on YouTube said it was the Jews and the New World Order coming to enslave us. David Icke probably said it was lizard people, but I'm only guessing, just because that's the sort of thing he says.

When people find out I was there, on that terrible day they ask me who or what I thought it was, certain my presence must have endowed me with some greater wisdom. Then when I can tell them no more than their Facebook they switch to suspicion. If I don't know then I must have been a part of it. The inside man.”
