Finding the set of legs on her driveway was very unsettling for Sian. She wiped the sweat from her brow, scooped up the limbs and chucked them in the bin with the rest of the body. ‘I’d forget my head of it wasn’t screwed on!’ she thought, climbing into her car. 

As she pulled away Sian looked in the rearview mirror and, when she spotted the boy’s head on the back seat, absolutely pissed herself laughing.
