February Twist

An old lady and a dog are hanging in a tree. Suicide pact, Steven decides. But he turns away, it's only polite. After all, he's the guy who abandoned Friends Acting Strangely as they headed for the Charts. On a winter's day a gypsy passing through the village recognises Feb. Her horse doesn't. That's not surprising, Feb's no idea who she was once meant to be. Steven helps her. Because she's a girl. And a scientist. It'll be a cinch, there'll be a locket involved. His mother's so wrong, there's nothing sinister about Feb, it can't end in disaster.
