1. Dear Ma and Pa 15/10/1959
Are you well?
My train arrived in Swindon at 1500 where I waited and watched the Pigeons scuffle over a piece of stale bread. Then at 1600, I hopped on my train to Bath. I was a bit of an unpleasant ride at I was sitting next to a little baby that would not stop crying.
I arrived at 2000 where I got a cab to the nearest pub in town. The boarding house there was full but a nice old chap gave me directions to a boarding house just down the road.
There were two places I could stay and I chose to stay at the Bed and Breakfast that had a nice dog lying in front of the fire and elegant green velvet curtains. The lady was really nice and welcoming however she had only had 2 guests in the past which was a bit odd seeing she was such and nice lady and it was a nice house.
She had shown me around the house and then brought me into the living room where she oddly made me sit down and have a tea with her. She talked me through her pasts guests whose names I recognised but I could not figure out where from. They were called Christopher Mullholland and Gregory Temple – are you aware of those names at all?
Lots of Love
Your little boy
Billy

3. I suddenly woke up during the night with a pounding headache and a sick feeling in my stomach. I briskly moved myself into the bathroom and proceeded to throw up into the toilet bowl. I stood up and reached for the rusted antique doorknob but swiftly fell to the ground. As lay back on the cold hard floor my throbbing head feels like it’s being smashed by a bulldozer. I shut my eyes and lay there contemplating what had gone wrong. Thoughts rushed through my mind, there was something odd about the lady, had she poisoned me? I felt my heartbeat through my ears get slower and slower each beat. Was this going to be the end of me?
