Tracy and her young son Tom have escaped an abusive household and plan a fresh start in a new location. Unfortunately they are placed in the notorious Longcroft Estate.
The second in Darren Sant’s short story series sees the single mother struggle to repay a loan shark while protecting her son from the local bullies. If she can’t raise the cash needed the thug has made it clear what he’s after instead.
Will she keep him at bay?
Like the previous instalment A Good Day (see review elsewhere here), this really is a very brief short story, but it does manage to convey everything required to have an impact.
Reminiscent of the tv show Shameless but without the comedy element this also manages to be surprisingly uplifting.
I’m already looking forward to my next visit to the Longcroft Estate.
