[00:00.300]	And now for the third part of four-part Late Night Tales story
[00:03.550]	"Flat of Angles"
[00:04.840]	Written by Simon Cleary
[00:06.020]	And read by me Benendict Cumberbatch
[00:10.300]	I just can't access my thoughts
[00:11.550]	Or put them into words
[00:13.930]	I think now my brain recycle been awaiting deletion
[00:17.590]	Still no reply to my text, I send to its ...
[00:19.600]	Oh, let me see
[00:20.960]	9:48, and it's now 10 o'clock
[00:25.220]	She hasn't texted to me in response
[00:26.990]	To my imploring, longing, yearning message
[00:29.370]	full of wiring sudden grief
[00:31.310]	Thus, morning!
[00:32.450]	How are you
[00:34.910]	I enjoyed our journey in the dark so can't wait this night!
[00:39.170]	Back at my place, looking forward to the gig tonight
[00:42.020]	what time can you get there?
[00:43.300]	Where is Rhythm Factory?
[00:44.940]	Have a great day!
[00:47.380]	Kiss.
[00:50.100]	As many questions as possible all crying out for response
[00:52.840]	surface lightness, reflective even
[00:55.270]	Asking after, referring to events our showing her I'm thinking of her
[00:58.710]	The kiss bow
[01:01.380]	That was contemplative for a good five minutes although we held hands briefly
[01:05.170]	Near McDonald's on the Earl's Court Road last night
[01:07.200]	I don't know that was to forward the kiss, too presumptuous now
[01:10.330]	But, her touch, sent a clean electric impulse through me
[01:17.270]	up my arm, into my brain
[01:21.140]	It cuts through the K, the sodium light
[01:25.100]	the rain I longed to protect her from my arms
[01:30.310]	Now he's check of the message this phone results
[01:33.130]	a little clutch of pain somewhere of the sanity is heart
[01:35.740]	The snails are climbing all over the wall in my bathroom
[01:43.460]	There is a bush outside the window
[01:45.550]	when it rains if I've left the window open
[01:47.160]	which I need to, sometimes
[01:50.130]	They crawl in
[01:53.120]	The iridescent tracery they leave on
[01:54.660]	Unknown journey sparkles in the bob light
[01:58.460]	I take a Tesco-bag glove and gather them,
[02:01.660]	bundle them out the window.
[02:08.230]	My time spend with you before the war.
[02:14.570]	She said she was going to Spain, hoped it wouldn’t rain,
[02:16.890]	heard it wouldn’t rain. I wanted to go too,
[02:18.830]	she said she was a solo traveler,
[02:20.770]	But it was her rule,
[02:21.840]	she goes on journeys alone.
[02:22.780]	With plenty to read.
[02:24.930]	I recommend some books, so that perhaps a thought of me would go with her.
[02:27.690]	Perhaps I am the only thought she had.
[02:29.360]	Or more probably, she never thought of me, as I did of her.
[02:33.400]	I wanted to say these things,
[02:35.850]	but there was always a wall around me,
[02:37.960]	I could never tell people how much they meant to me.
[02:40.000]	I could tell others how much I hated some people,
[02:42.020]	but could never even tell a friend I appreciated their company
[02:44.920]	until I’d had 10 cans, then it would descend into a stereotypical drunken
[02:49.330]	“You’re my best mate, you are.”
[02:54.220]	So we opened that bottle of absinthe, and sat on the couch.
[02:58.720]	I knocked a copy of The Face onto the floor,
[03:01.010]	and cleared away a few cans with my boots.
[03:02.950]	We turned to face each other there,
[03:04.250]	an my knee touched hers.
[03:10.180]	I looked at our knees together,
[03:12.430]	hers at the top of the black leather boots, hidden in grey woollen tights,
[03:16.700]	with little bobbles on them.
[03:20.820]	Her knee moved imperceptibly away,
[03:24.160]	but I felt it.
[03:27.000]	I looked up to her face
[03:28.350]	as she said “Drink a shot with me, and look me in the eye as you do.”
[03:33.300]	We did.
[03:35.890]	I didn’t feel the effect of the alcohol,
[03:38.510]	but her eyes gave me a warm glow,
[03:42.940]	I was swallowed by them,
[03:45.410]	as she swallowed the green liquid.
[03:48.550]	I couldn’t get enough.
[03:50.870]	We did it again and again.
[03:54.920]	Rinse, then repeat.
[03:58.420]	As needed.
[04:02.970]	Well, we were fabric for a drama bass night
[04:05.870]	we were about to bow about four
[04:07.730]	Just getting our coats, when we were
[04:09.190]	Tim getting some sorts of trouble
[04:10.370]	with the coat room attendant, he lost his ticket
[04:11.680]	She said "we'd have to wait until the end to get the coat
[04:15.590]	So we had to sit outside
[04:17.220]	by the meat market, in the freezing cold
[04:19.770]	At least wear our coats
[04:21.570]	Until 8, when it was finally over
[04:23.800]	Tim's was only coat hanging around in the middle of this desert
[04:27.960]	And then Tim, put his hand, in his jeans' pocket
[04:31.770]	and pulls out a sweat rubbish ruffled ticket
[04:34.690]	saying "I had it all along"
[04:37.790]	Doug, saw this, he just screws his hands up into his face
[04:42.110]	forces them to his side
[04:43.900]	shaking, grating his teeth, groaning
[04:47.270]	moving off slowly, muttering "fuuuuuuuu(ck)"
[04:53.810]	Oh no, my number will be on her phone.
[04:58.130]	They’ll know.
[05:00.900]	I need to get round there and delete the calls.
[05:03.700]	So it
[05:11.050]	Out of the strong, came forth sweetness.
[05:16.640]	It says that on the tins of Lyle’s Golden Syrup.
[05:18.590]	Have you ever noticed that?
[05:20.350]	It has a picture of a lion, dead,
[05:21.860]	surrounded by bees, buzzing around,
[05:23.450]	and feasting on the lion’s innards.
[05:25.100]	It is from a Biblical story,
[05:26.360]	someone was going somewhere,
[05:27.350]	saw the lion dead in the sunshine,
[05:28.280]	and carried on.
[05:30.100]	On his way back,
[05:31.210]	the bees had started to form a hive within the lion,
[05:32.810]	and were creating honey.
[05:37.250]	Hence out of the strong...
[05:41.800]	I have enough here to join her, to join the lion.
[05:45.160]	I can’t walk around the block once more, again.
[05:50.050]	I’ve been doing that for years, and I have never escaped.
[05:57.820]	I don’t even know why I’m doing it.
[06:01.430]	I’m going nowhere, like those snails, except out the window.
[06:09.890]	The streets are full of mercenary eyes.
[06:12.360]	Veins full of evil serum.
[06:15.870]	90 degrees from window.
[06:18.810]	Right down to its gables.
[06:26.740]	You've been listening to Late Night Tales
[06:29.310]	Music and stories worth staying up for.

[04:37.790]	Doug, saw this, he just screws his hands up into his face
[04:42.110]	forces them to his side
[04:43.900]	shaking, grating his teeth, groaning
[04:47.270]	moving off slowly, muttering " fuuuuuuuu ck"
[04:53.810]	Oh no, my number will be on her phone.
[04:58.130]	They' ll know.
[05:00.900]	I need to get round there and delete the calls.
[05:03.700]	So it
[05:11.050]	Out of the strong, came forth sweetness.
[05:16.640]	It says that on the tins of Lyle' s Golden Syrup.
[05:18.590]	Have you ever noticed that?
[05:20.350]	It has a picture of a lion, dead,
[05:21.860]	surrounded by bees, buzzing around,
[05:23.450]	and feasting on the lion' s innards.
[05:25.100]	It is from a Biblical story,
[05:26.360]	someone was going somewhere,
[05:27.350]	saw the lion dead in the sunshine,
[05:28.280]	and carried on.
[05:30.100]	On his way back,
[05:31.210]	the bees had started to form a hive within the lion,
[05:32.810]	and were creating honey.
[05:37.250]	Hence out of the strong...
[05:41.800]	I have enough here to join her, to join the lion.
[05:45.160]	I can' t walk around the block once more, again.
[05:50.050]	I' ve been doing that for years, and I have never escaped.
[05:57.820]	I don' t even know why I' m doing it.
[06:01.430]	I' m going nowhere, like those snails, except out the window.
[06:09.890]	The streets are full of mercenary eyes.
[06:12.360]	Veins full of evil serum.
[06:15.870]	90 degrees from window.
[06:18.810]	Right down to its gables.
[06:26.740]	You' ve been listening to Late Night Tales
[06:29.310]	Music and stories worth staying up for.
