Clunes, NSW, Australia We were certain, our lives shortened, that we were driving into a brick wall. Everything that he had been, everything he had lived, disappeared to nothing in a baying crowd. They laughed because they had robbed him; and robbed him agian. "No power, falang have now power," they chanted, their ridicule dying in the fetid air, unashamed at their invasion of privacy, their stupidity, the fact that they were idiotic enough to put cameras in a foreigners bedroom, idiotic enough to ridicule someone else's sexual prowess. Unashamned at their own disrespect. That was how it came; how in his dreams that same haunted house, ringed by jeering Thais, kept recycling through his brain. Traumatised, for sure, "a difficult experience, but interesting to watch", he observed in a conversation with an elderly, dying woman who had been kind to him when he was a suicidal 15-year-old. And who, as a result of her kindness so long ago, he had always held in high esteem.
