To Have Nothing

In a dark night of the soul a bourgeois citizen runs away from home: his life has been a lie, a waste, a wilful delusion.
For forty days and forty nights he suffers and shivers alone in a derelict Notting Hill villa.
Then, the inevitable.
A pre-Thatcherite workers' cooperative, led by a minor aristocrat, storms the villa and lays waste his precious penance.
"Live and let live!" he cries.
But no.
If the workers cannot save him, they must damn him.
