Losing My Phone in Mumbai
The best part of my 10 days in Mumbai earlier this year, hands down, was losing my trusty Samsung A20. Quite how I did it I don't know and never will; it is entirely likely that I carelessly dropped it in an auto, but I have a friend who is adamant it must have been pickpocketed. Either way, you can imagine the lurching horror of the first hour or so after I realised, turned my bag inside out and watched my life flash in front of my eyes, so I won't go into it, because what happened next was some of the best fun I have ever had in my life.

The Conversation
"Katie, I really like you; I love you." he announced, looking straight ahead. They were sitting in his car outside her home, too warm because she had insisted on closing the windows so the neighbours wouldn't hear. Not that the neighbours cared. They didn't know her, and couldn't know how long she had resisted getting in this car; the danger she was in prickled along her skin, but remained invisible. Maybe the heat wasn't even provided by the weak British sun; maybe it was the electricity buzzing between them.
