The town stood were it had for 400 years now, created during the civil war. It was a quite town were nothing happened and abnormalities were covered up, no one ever talked about the towns past, believing that if they wern't mentioned it some how didn't happen, like the kid killed on his moped last year, or the fact that with £20 you could buy the drug of your choice on any street,or the Simpson kid in his wheel chair, the tramp who sat at the bus stop in Washing Street and the activities of the Ritchmonds; all pushed under a rug to try and keep a sense of normality. Because at the end of the day that's what everybody does covers things up and tell white lies. A fake, perfect postcard town in a fake, perfect world. But you have to accept the past and the things you dislike, or else keep them so deeply hidden, so completely secret that you forget about it yourself. You don't talk about the things in Shilington because it wasn't accepted.

I like the idea behind the piece but the long sentence in the middle and odd punctuation kinda throws me off... +1 anyways

i agree with this lot, pretty solid plans, but needs polish. Try not to be so blunt, as well. For instance, the last line just sums up the whole of the first bit, IMHO it could be cut. Let the action speak for itself, we'll understand what the gist is without you saying it outright.
