Why this must be read: Because it's a bittersweet, dark-sea surrounded, wee snatch from their lives, and because you can feel the rain on their faces and the grimness all around - but you can feel Bodie and Doyle too, and they're both tugging at your hearstrings... Something about this gets to me every time - it's just gorgeously atmospheric and well worth a read!

Excerpt:
He sat on the muddy embankment, slumped over with his arms clasped around his middle, closely guarding the object of his freedom. The only sound was the rain striking ground and water. The stench of the river floated over all.

The three men paused, and Doyle glanced at them. Murphy motioned for him to go ahead, and Tommy nodded. Ray took a deep breath, then sauntered over and sat down next to Bodie.

I'd completely forgotten this one, thank you. It's wonderfully atmospheric, with so much going on unsaid.
