I watched time tick slowly by this morning. I listened to the words in my head. I switched on lights then switched them off. I opened the windows, looked out, was blinded by ignorance and then closed them.
No human throbbing with blood needs convincing. You are your own answer. But when you seem them lurking behind every image, it makes me cringe in fear. No, not fear.
Disgust.
There was a tug on my shirt as I stared out into the misty sky. Looking down, I see dark green eyes brimming with tears that look like raindrops.
"Can we go now? I don't like it here daddy."
His lips tremble slightly, I hold him close, my arm pulling him gently to me.
"Yes my son, we can go now. Come....."
With a last look at the incoming gloom, our feet swiftly move away, a dust cloud gathering behind us.
