Dishabille by Derbhile Dromey

Dishabille is a dark, subtle short story from Irish writer Derbhile Dromey, who paints vivid pictures with very few words. Anna, an ageing professional, settles in for an evening of special entertainment, far from casually dressed, while the truck driver across the road keeps to his distinct routine. Passion flares, and dreams are shattered… Dishabille is a haunting story that will stay with the reader for a long time.

An extract from the story:

“Her wardrobe stood guard over the dressing table and all the other furniture in the room. She opened the heavy dark doors, which were the same colour as her bedstead. She hung her suit on a padded hanger and sponged it down with a soft cloth, rubbing away rogue pieces of lint. It was one of her work suits; she liked to keep it smart. Besides, its warm brown tones suited her colouring. Her shoes went into the allotted place on the shoe rack. Then she shed her workaday cotton bra and knickers. The filmy material on the teddy slithered over her body. She gazed at her reflection in the full-length mirror. She turned first one way, then another, twisting her head to examine the lunar landscape on her thighs, which was bigger than she remembered. Her buttocks sagged slightly; the exercises weren't working. The front view was more cheerful; her breasts were high and firm, the skin on her stomach still smooth, unstretched by childbirth. A little girl would have been nice”.
