A flat towpath. Grey water. A narrowboat with a warm light in the porthole. Nowhere to be.
This is a slow, meandering sleep story about walking a canal towpath in the late afternoon with no destination. Ducks move aside. A lock keeper checks something and goes back inside. The narrator stops on a small footbridge and watches the water for a very long time. Then turns around. Then walks back. Nothing has changed. Everything is fine.
Emma reads softly and slowly, with long pauses over the water — the kind of pauses that let your thoughts slow to the pace of a canal.
