Chapter 1, First Meeting

James had gone out to the shops to buy a newspaper. Also, he wanted the walk for exercise. There was a more nearby paper shop but instead he chose to walk to another paper shop. This longer walk might make 20 minutes a day exercise. And this was the minimum exercise you really should do. The other shops were 5 or 10 minutes' walk that was not really enough and less than recommended.

The area that he lived in could be quite nice in some parts. But these were off the busy road. This road itself came from the city center. And where he was, it was lined with grimy shops. There were shops selling all kinds of snacks and alcoholic beverages. Or for other customers, they sold daily essentials. Nearer the city center, there was another bigger shop that sold newspapers, magazines and other bits and pieces and that had a food section. This is where James was going. And he avoided going the other way. It did not suit his exercise purpose.

The walk was not unpleasant. In parts, the road could be quite wide. A busy stream of vehicles went constantly along it. There were some wide clean areas used by people going out shopping on foot. This was by chance only. An area that was previously a community center was under redevelopment. And that meant a pleasant warm breeze blew. It came from where the center had been pulled down but that was still empty. Before, it would have felt damp and grubby if it were raining. And the air close and warm if summer. The building had once been a local landmark. But now it had been knocked down. Legal wrangles meant the plot had been empty more than a year. After they knocked it down, it was dusty near the plot. But recently they had cleaned it up and, as well, they put up higher fences. This was when it seems they couldn't find a buyer and no work was likely to start anytime soon. The sunlight could really be quite bright along the road. And particularly it was bright where there were no buildings. Perhaps, it was not something for which you should be grateful. It might be more that you would want redevelopment when this part of town looked so run-down. But often James just enjoyed the suntrap. And he often did so when he was out on his way to the local shops or city center. It made the journey to the shops at least bearable. And if the weather was good, it was not so bad.

As he went to the shop, he mused to himself. And doing so,
