Foreign Bodies is a historical fiction project set in Whitechapel, London, in 1890-91.
I'm currently exploring the characters and their relationships through short scenes, dialogues, and character studies. Themes include care, belonging, class, institutional violence, and the quiet ways people show up for one another.

Thomas stands, eating a meat pie bought from a street vendor. He watches a group of sailors working aboard a three-masted ship. Ellen notices him as she passes.
ELLEN: Sergeant Rowe?
He turns, mouth full. He greets her with a nod before finishing his bite. He lifts the pie slightly.
THOMAS: Lunch break.
ELLEN: Bon appétit.
THOMAS: You're done for the day?
She nods.
ELLEN: I needed to clear my head before heading home.
Thomas and Ellen stand side by side, looking at the Thames. She follows his gaze to the three-masted ship.
ELLEN: What are they doing?
THOMAS: The rigging. Replacing a worn halyard. They're almost done.
ELLEN: You talk like one of them.
THOMAS: I was one of them.
A pause.
THOMAS: Those days are behind me.
ELLEN: You never know.
THOMAS: I have a daughter.
ELLEN: She might like it.
THOMAS: She certainly would.
He smiles.
THOMAS: She'll end up like you.
She laughs.
ELLEN: Would that be so terrible?
THOMAS: No. Not at all.
A pause.
THOMAS: She'll do whatever she wants.
He chuckles softly.
THOMAS: She already does.
A pause.
THOMAS: Have you always been moving?
She doesn't answer right away, looking ahead.
ELLEN: No.
He says nothing. She glances at him.
ELLEN: Go on.
THOMAS: What happened?
ELLEN: Life.
A pause.
ELLEN: Bennett.
THOMAS: Henry?
ELLEN: He told me he needed me. For the new hospital.
He smiles.
THOMAS: Is he pleased? With how things are going?
ELLEN: I thought you knew him better than that.
His smile widens. They continue to watch the ships in silence.

I've noticed that when I sit down, I no longer shift or straighten myself. I stay just as I’ve settled. My body no longer protests even the smallest discomforts. It simply accepts everything.
Thomas steps outside. His hat and tie are gone. His jacket hangs open, and a fine layer of dust covers him from head to toe. Brownish stains mark his hands and wrists.
Nearby, a stretcher bearer crushes out his cigarette and heads back inside.
A little farther down, Ellen sits on a low stone wall, smoking. Her apron is stained. Her sleeves are rolled to the elbows. Her hands are red and raw from disinfectants. He drops down beside her.
THOMAS: Got one for me?
She hands him her cigarette case. He takes one, lights it, and draws on it. He starts coughing.
ELLEN: Do you smoke?
THOMAS: No.
They both burst out laughing. He is still coughing. She turns away, trying to regain her composure. It doesn't work. Neither of them can seem to stop. For a moment, they are reduced to muffled laughter and failed attempts at breathing quietly. Eventually, Thomas looks down at the cigarette.
THOMAS: What's in it?
ELLEN: Mullein. Thyme. A bit of mint.
He takes another drag. He doesn't cough.
THOMAS: It clears the chest.
ELLEN: That's the idea.
They smoke in silence.
THOMAS: The light is beautiful tonight.
A pause.
ELLEN: It's the cold.
A pause.
THOMAS: On days like this, everything seems sharper.
The hint of a smile crosses her face.
ELLEN: Yes.
A pause.
THOMAS: And you?
ELLEN: Still standing.
A pause.
ELLEN: I've seen worse. Doesn't help, though.
She finishes her cigarette.
ELLEN: Many left?
THOMAS: Yes. I'm heading back.
She looks at him.
ELLEN: Have you eaten?
He doesn't answer.
ELLEN: Go to the kitchen. Get something.
He smiles at her. She gets to her feet.
ELLEN: If there's any cake left, have two slices.
She heads back inside. He lingers, finishing his cigarette.
