    About this ebook

    Stockings. Smooth, black stockings. Designed by a Siren to drag men down to their fate. So who could blame me for a moment of madness? If you had ever seen Rachel, then you would have made just the same mistake. Perhaps your foolishness would have been forgiven. Or would it have led you where mine led me?

      After “The End”

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go

      Stocking tops. Those inches of promise.

      Strange, how such a tiny measurement can dominate a whole room. The curly cords of the telephones are cut, keyboards turn to sponge, and the fax machine stops screeching, starved of power. Even the ranting boss becomes mute, put in his place by a stolen glimpse of nylon.

      They can't be just any stocking tops, you understand. They have to be the ones I can see from behind this desk. It's a rotten seat, forgotten by the cleaning lady, directly under the air conditioning, and a million miles from a window. Even the office junior would refuse it, but I wouldn't move if you offered me the world.

      It is Rachel who keeps me sitting here, and Rachel's legs that fill those stockings so perfectly. She doesn't wear them every day, or if she does, I certainly don't see them, but when a telephone call gets her hot under the collar, I get hot under the collar too.
