January 2021. Britain lies in the grip of lockdown. Outside, a frigid wind nudges stray litter through forbidding streets. The pubs and nightclubs sit dark, devoid of Saturday joy. A grey hollowness gnaws at every corner of the empty world. But in the deepest wastes of Lower Gornal, a faint sound pierces the silence.

The mournful scraping of a solitary black crayon on a bedsheet.
