Local Playground Swings
Standard playground swings feature metal chains suspending plastic seats amid a public park. Jamie Lockford climbs the chains to precarious heights, hallucinating crocodiles below him in a drug-induced frenzy. Shaf and Twiggy watch from the ground as his screams echo, the swings transforming from children's play equipment into a stage for his breakdown. Catherine Cawood learns of the incident via phone but dismisses it amid her turmoil.
