I Want To Go Home But I'm Already There

By Róisín Lanigan

Renting is a nightmare. ine should be feeling happy with her life. She's just moved in with Elliot. Their new flat is in an affluent neighbourhood, surrounded by bakeries, yoga studios and organic vegetable shops. They even have a garden. And yet, from the moment they move in, ine can't shake the sense that there's something not quite right about the place... It's not just the humourless estate agent and nameless landlord- it's the chill that seeps through the draughty windows; the damp spreading from the cellar door; the way the organic fruit and veg never lasts as long as it should. And most of all, it's the upstairs neighbours, whose very presence makes peaceful coexistence very difficult indeed. The longer ine spends inside the flat - pretending to work from home; dissecting messages from the friends whose lives seem to have moved on without her - the less it feels like home. And as ine fixates on the cracks in the ceiling, it becomes harder to ignore the cracks in her relationship with Elliott...
