Sowerbutt's Time


“I’ll send a message to Dipper to see what stock he has to hand,” Sowerbutt said wearily, his face covered in white dust and streaks of grime. “You won’t be telling much time with that.”
Spaghetti looked down at the Omega watch that his Mamma had given him some years earlier. The glass was shattered and the hands stuck forever at 8:35, a few minutes after the second wave of bombs started falling. The two men had kicked in the front door of one of the Family’s houses, just off East India Dock Road, seconds after an incendiary bomb had landed in the street outside and exploded into flames. Spaghetti hit his wrist against the brickwork as he pulled some of the terrified tenants to safety.
