The main events of this short story take place around Wormsley Common car park, where years before bombs had fallen and turned the area into the dilapidated, rundown corner of town. The bombs destroyed almost everything; however, the one house that remains supported by wooden “struts” is still standing and occupied (159). Some key elements of events in this story are brought together for situational irony. Readers do not expect a group of young adolescences to destroy a house that was left standing even after many bombs had dropped in the vicinity, but readers soon find out that with the co-operation and teamwork of the gang destroying the house was as simple as going to the store.
