TALES OF TIREE

When she was five years of age, she was always at the heels of her older brother and his friends, begging to be part of their games.
hey resolutely told her to piss off.
Then this one day they were playing cowboys and somehow agreed that she could be an indian.
They tied her to the flagpole and left for the
strand.
After half an hour of thinking like a brave one,
she began to suspect that they had abandoned her.
A boy slipped from around the corner of the house,
looking over his shoulder.
He made her promise not to tell anyone, before he untied her.
He then kissed her on the mouth and was gone.
It was her first kiss.
Later he pretended not to notice her.

The isle of Tiree lies south of the Hebrides,
n the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
