My neighbour is now standing near the door ready to escape. There are a few more like him..... Eager beavers, standing long before they need to! It's pitch black outside now. I stand up, stretched my arms and reached out for my coat and drape it across my shoulder, one arm in the sleeve then the other arm..... I proceed to bottom up, turning up my collar and prepare mysel for the enemy without..... The cold weather that awaits me
