The Moon Is Out Tonight
by Paul Whybrow
A successful but lonely business-woman and author sits alone contemplating the full moon with her ragamuffin of a cat. Out in the darkness,mere yards away, a bachelor down on his luck,does what he can to survive.Clarissa owns a successful gift-shop,runs a holiday letting cottage and is a published author. But she's been single for two years,and her only company is a Maine Coon cat who is increasingly going his own way now that they live out in the country. Alone on the night of the harvest moon,she gazes at the equinox from the warm safety of her luxury home. Out in the darkness,Hugh an impoverished divorced man does what he can to better himself,resorting to age-old cunning to make what he can from those more fortunate than him. In some ways the two are ideal for one another,and even know of the other's existence. Will they ever meet ?
