Motorcycle is the Best Sauce by Richard Roche

December 1, 2015
“Turning the hob to a lower heat, Simon gave the contents of the pan a cursory stir, inhaled deeply, then stepped into the dining room to inspect the soundproofing again. Satisfied that the double-glazed windows were all closed and locked, he glanced nervously into the street below. Still. Lifeless. Perfect.”

The December 2015 edition of Long Story, Short Journal is a unique offering from writer and academic Dr Richard Roche. 'Motorcycle is the Best Sauce' invites the reader into the world of a sufferer of auditory synaesthesia, who is making great efforts to move through isolation towards a more connected life.  Photograph by Mark Guider. READ 'MOTORCYCLE IS THE BEST SAUCE'.
