		<title>in nobody&#8217;s real interest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[the train people once almost crucified a chap for not having a ticket, some spotty faced fellow, youngish, plastic clad. the guy wasn&#8217;t a saint for sure, all knew that, but people felt the reaction was a bit too harsh. the train people said it was a normal industrial action. wordsback and forth and an [...]]]></description>

		<title>public body bargain</title>

		<title>out of sight lest out of mind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[a man, mid-fifty, respectable appearance, left the house this morning, walked down the street and turned left. out of sight. the story goes on but they wouldn&#8217;t let us know about, said sponge, surely not, which, in turn, is something we cannot speak about. the man&#8217;s family left it very late to contact the authorities.

		<description><![CDATA[she read a paper, her finger loosely tracing the lines. she smiled briefly from time to time and, more frequently, slightly shook her head in disbelief. you&#8217;ll have to change that, said breadroll, people don&#8217;t do that in real life, shake their head and stuff when they read. they don&#8217;t participate, they know it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>a new day lasts as long as the old one</title>
		<description><![CDATA[if you think you&#8217;ve been here before, you&#8217;re right, said sponge, but it won&#8217;t help. the end of the platform is just its beginning. you&#8217;ll take it from there; you&#8217;ll move on. the setting of the train station&#8217;s shopping mall provides an impressive backdrop for these words. it was an ordinary shopping mall. shops and [...]]]></description>

		<title>something sometimes got to give</title>
		<description><![CDATA[so there will be a meeting of sorts, sponge inquired. thank you for inquiring, the train person said, but regret to say that we&#8217;d like to keep this confidential. it&#8217;s commercially sensitive. he emphasised commercially to stress the importance. it&#8217;s important so, said sponge. very, the train person said. the train person, a flimsy man [...]]]></description>
