Who Is Nigel Ritter? (or Making Plans for Nigel) / by Tim Lane

I used to think that life was like being a passenger on the Titanic, and love was a life boat. But then one night I heard this horrifying screeching. It was chilling and unmistakable. Clearly, an animal was dying in the street. I came out of the house and saw love lying under the streetlight. It had just been run over by a car. Blood was squirting everywhere. It wasn’t pretty, but it was real. I forced myself to watch love die.
