On platform 1 ( of 2) of a little rural train station, in the heart of the Sussex Downs …
… a group of local artists set upon a project to revamp its slightly tired appearance. A host of identical bird boxes were attached to the wall – though not to entice the local bird population to nest, but for something altogether unexpected …
I was among those artists, and it allowed me a germ of an idea …
‘Mystery’ – for that was his name – was placed in the box …
… all but hidden with his thoughts …
And as he watched and waited, he pondered the world …
He was hanging there a month before, along with his mysterious companions, he vanished …
Never to be seen again.
