Sober and unpunched, this we did.

And from the platform, we all watched as that train pulled slowly away, so very slowly, silent and entirely empty but for two unsmiling bobbies on either side of a young man sitting very straight, chin up, a puddle of blood at his feet and his pointed shoes polished to a perfect mirror shine.
