It was Christmas Eve. There weren’t many people on the streets. A short man came walking towards Guy Domville, who had just come out of a hot pub. The short man was only wearing a T-shirt. He looked like he was freezing cold.
“Are you all right？” Guy asked the man.
“I’m freezing，” the man replied. Guy took off his coat, and gave it to the man.
“There you go！” said Guy. The man looked very surprised, but
took the coat, put it on and went on his way.
“Thanks！” he shouted as he left. Now it was Guy who was freezing. He had no idea why he had just decided to give his coat to a complete stranger. Perhaps because it was nearly Christmas. Perhaps it was because Guy hadn’t given presents to anyone else this Christmas. Perhaps it was because this year he had no one to give any presents to.
Suddenly all the lights were going out, but Guy hardly noticed it. The darkness around him was the same as the darkness he felt inside him.
Sometimes he could see into the windows of the houses that he passed. Most of the houses were dark, but some people had lighted candles. The candles looked beautiful, he thought. They made the people’s houses look warm and friendly and cosy.
Guy felt sad that he was now going back to a house where no one had lit any candles. He didn’t want to go home. His flat was empty. It would be the first Christmas without his daughter and his ex-wife. He hadn’t spoken to his daughter in over three months.
Guy was looking for a tiny piece of paper he remembered having put in his pocket months ago. It was so dark out here that he couldn’t see anything. His hands were so cold that it was difficult to find anything in his pockets.
Then, suddenly, everything became light. He realized that he was standing under a streetlight that had just come on again. He found the tiny piece of paper in his wallet with a long number written on it. The number had faded, but he could still read it. Then he walked to a phone box. 21.
