OVERLOAD

OVERLOAD Sandra’s fuse has burnt out. She’d used a 3 amp one instead of the recommended 13, and it had only taken a surge of feeling to melt the copper wire. Her circuit protected, she can no longer feel. Her eyes, dazed and inward-focused, have no power, are as live as the dead newt drying out by the pond. There’d been a flash, her eyes had shone; then the emotional overload had fused the wire. And here she sits, empty as a shrivelled newt. Sandra’s fuse has burnt out.
