The Open Wound

A journalist from Whitstable heard about Dunston from the salty seadog who delivers his supplies.  The journalist hired a loud and powerful speed-boat to go out to Shivering Sands.  He could smell a story and the most recent event on inWhitstable.com/news is the celebration of the Queens Golden Jubilee (true), so he needed something (anything!).
When the power boat arrived at the fort it spooked the animals and both Justice the dog, and Flump the cat, ran out along one of the unsafe, metal walkways.  Dunston had been in the middle of cleaning his teeth but now, still in his tartan dressing gown, crept on his hands and knees until he could grasp Flump and drag her to safety. 
At this point the reporter, raised his grey face, wiped his slippery chin and shouted, ‘Hey, you!  Why are you out here?  What are you doing?’
‘I’ve got the cat,’ shouted Dunston above the noise of the sea, ‘but I’ve got to go further for Justice!’
‘Father for Justice?’
‘Yes, I’m on my knees here, I can’t return to the fort until I get Justice!’The journalist had got his story and returned to the safety of dry land and some clean clothes.  Here is just part of the report:A member of Fathers for Justice has vowed to remain living on the offshore Shivering Sands Fort.  He states that the only thing he got in the divorce settlement was the cat and he cannot return to normal thought until he gets justice.  Dressed in a revealing Spiderman outfit the man appeared to be foaming at the mouth with rage.  This reporter beat a hasty retreat but watch these pages for further updates.

Unbelievable!  Dunston makes the effort to leave ‘normal’ life and the horrors of the media find him and put him on the front page!
