Strangers Like Me

T01787280739
Elbow's best friend, Hamster, has unexpectedly died. Everyone expects Elbow to be grieving - right? But Elbow isn't sure how to do it. Privately, Elbow is beginning to feel they weren't even as close as everyone makes out. It would be better if everyone just left Elbow alone - his mum. dad, stupid older sibling, Donut, but especially all those annoying kids at school pretending they were they really care by writing poems, singing songs and holding a vigil at Elbow and Hamster's favourite meeting place. Who do they think they are? Elbow doesn't know. He just has a strange feeling inside - an absence of feeling at all.
