7 - Brian
Brian Walsh - Went abroad to Amsterdam, Stag. Holiday to Spidal, Granny, sister Marian, was thick as a child couldn't measure time or space around him. Australia 1 year, NZ 6 months, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, American on a holiday Visa, outstayed by 4 years. Plans for when he came home all undone and unattempted, travelling was building site to building site and doing dishes and tarmac.
Brians Mum - religious, leaving snippets of prayers and relics, gave him peace, convinced Brian would be killed abroad
Saoirse Ayland - Local writer well known six number one best sellers, hope for every cunt
Brian Walsh - Embarrassed at his notes made when travelling, never seemed to be a reason for him, wanted something to happen to justify himself. Did coke in NY for the first time influenced by what he thought was cool, history repeats itself, lost confidence in goodness, integrity, honour everything gets corrupted, typed out long message to Seanie but deleted it, nothing to do with him, 30K bigger issues to worry about according to Augie's accounting system.
Augie Penrose - owed 30k by Brian
Bobby Mahon - went off with a hooker, secret everyone knows, off his face, to quick to do any damage, weird life.
Seanie - Sent the photo, lousy neaky,lets on to be Bobby's mate
Brian Walsh - Little ratty bollix he gets his wraps off on a Friday, only judges himself and goes to Ciss with the lads, 2 months behind on bills and mounting drug debt, has a little job from Augie. Jason will owe him after, says prayer to St Jude, saint of hopeless cases and desperate situations.
Total Number - 21
