      Death

      Mar 1, 2020

      Kids already asleep, the grownups sit out on the deck,a few empty cans, an open bottle of wine on the table, I’m sure, and stacked paper plates with half-eaten buns and dirty napkins.From my backyard next door, I can hear them, the living, chatting.

      Field Trip

      The shuttle from the city centre whizzed into the courtyard and blew a hiss of steam as it dropped its speed and hovered to a halt, causing a vast quantity of snow to turn into ice as its engine's haphazard humming subsided. Out stepped Mrs. Wimwomtiki and her band of 25 snivelling students overly dressed by their parents for a harsh winter that was not coming, all sporting different strains of a cold and relieved to be able to leave the classroom for an entire day.

      Stay together and walk in twos! she hollered at the rebellious band as they made their way up the pristine stone staircase leading to the Library Records Museum, housing the greatest historical artefact collection and socio-political records this side of the galaxy.
