The Comics Lecture (Night of 07/02/2018)

Dave's comics. Night-time. In a differenr location. In the back-room. For some reason I want a new copy of Charles Burn's 'Black Hole' - not sure why. I am glad to see a new copy of it. I flick through it and see that there are extra chapters - prose written by a guest contributior including photographs. The extra chapters are all about adolescence and growing up - how close the book was to his own teenage years. I fear the book will be too expensive. I look at the price - £31 has been crossed out and replaced with £19:99 - I can afford that. I am pleased.
Outside. Looking back at Dave's Comics. Looking at the two lighted rooms upstairs where all the back copies are.
I can see a shelf of fantasy books.
At some lecture hall. The lecture is hall to do with comics and graphic novels. The desks are like pews as if we are in a church. The feeling if plants around the side - windows looking open ontio courtyards. Luke is sitting some pews back. He hasn't been in for a while. With glee I tell him how the lecturer has been shaking his head at the mention of Luke's name, as if he is displeased with him. Luke tightens his lips. I think I have gone too far. Why do I want Luke to be worried about his place on these lectures anyway.
Someone is standing in front of my seat. Will I be able to see anything?
Before I sit down the lecturer takes me aside and tells me how enjoyable my participation in these classes has been. I am pleased and stutter out some inane reply, about how comics and graphic novels should be taken seriously as literature.
Walking up Preston Road with other people. A girl calls my name from the other side of the road. At first I do not hear her. She is a younger, slightly punky girl in a leather jacket. She comes over. 'Wendy?' I say. I have got her name right. She is pleased. She tells me that she is 'not allowed to make tea any more' in the place that she is staying in, the inference being that this will be due to something she has done. She is in some kind of care facility. I imagine that I should invite her along for a cup of tea but am unsure.
