a cooking pot and twisted tales
Tears ran down the bridge of Jane’s little nose and fell on Captain.
Huddled near her best friend Captain she tried to drown out their screaming voices.
She never liked it when they fought and they seemed to do it more and more.
Dad would storm out and disappear for days and mum would go round the bend all teary and mad.
She wished she was back at her gran’s house.
