The Last Bus to Sholver by Christopher Kennedy

Six stories. Six places you can stand in today. Six people who wrote down what happened to them because nobody would have believed it said aloud.

A school wall in Werneth that remembers every name painted over it. A felled plantation above Darwen giving back what was buried. A mill whose night shift never clocked off. A house with one window more outside than in. A flight of locks that is one lock too long at night. And the last bus to Sholver, which is on time, and warm, and bound for a version of Oldham that was demolished decades ago.

The Last Bus to Sholver brings together six dark stories from the North: Graffiti, Blue Ground, Threads, The Last Bus to Sholver, Window Counter and Thirteen Locks.

NARRATION

Count the windows from the street. Then count them from inside.

In Window Counter, a house has one more outside than in. One small difference is enough to make an ordinary building feel wrong.

One of six northern stories in The Last Bus to Sholver.
