The Graveyard

“Thoughts and feelings, hinted at before, were suddenly blossoming. He knew then that he'd been waiting for his life to begin…”

For years Colin Abbott has put his life on hold, living only for his elderly mother. With her gone he is alone, adrift in a world he doesn’t fully understand. On one sunny summer day he sets off from his mother’s grave, and attempts to take control, to learn to enjoy his life and maybe even learn to love again.

‘The Graveyard’ is where Colin takes his first steps away from his old life and towards something completely new and unknown and is the seventh short story in the ‘Diamonds’ Collection that also includes ‘Bewilder’, ‘Heart over Head over Heels’, ‘Bonfire Blues’, ‘Lily Green’, ‘The Devil eats Coleslaw’, and ‘Fading Polaroids in Reverse’.
