I had always been terrified of heights but found myself on the roof of a very tall building

To make matters worse I was wearing only my underpants

The elastic had broken and they were slipping away

I was terrified and embarrassed at the same time

You told me that there was a lift that travelled down the side of the building

I started picking up some small plastic bottles but you said that my actions were useless

You bared my muddy arse so I slapped your face you began to cry and I forgave you

I was in the lift with my eyes tightly closed I could feel people around me laughing

I opened my eyes and was immediately angry as my fellow passengers were also in their underwear

The lift stopped on the fifty-fifth floor and from my vantage I could see straight down

I felt physically sick and was told that the people who lived on the fifty-fifth floor had grown used to the disturbance

The lift then jerked and the shock of the caused me to pass out and I have no further memories of the journey

When I came to I was on a piece of rough ground with you it was raining and mists were partially obscuring the tall building

I was now wearing a pair of faded overalls which you had stolen from the Newcastle Foundry this pleased me as I no longer felt naked

When you were younger you told me that you caught a fever on a tropical river and as the small boat travelled deeper into the interior

I thought I was about to die can we stay here for while we are both safe I no longer have the fever and you have returned to earth
