A short, sparse, sad story of two men in a village in South Wales, still with memories of the hardships of the Miners‘ Strike and against the background of Section 28, AIDS and homophobia. B and M work together in M‘s family hardware store, and live together in the small room upstairs, but have to hide their real selves.

If you liked Andrew McMillan‘s Pity - you‘ll like this. I loved it.

squirrelbrain @TrishB - I think you‘ll love this one too. 3w
