At night she owned this road.
No cars. No traffic. No other people. That's why she owned this time and this space.

April 11, 2021 Old Man
His medals sit dusty in an old box. He hid for them for years, then he polished and wore them proudly. Now he can't decide what to do with them, so he does nothing. There is no one left to remember. Except him. He remembers. He will always remember.
He is the last one.

You could hear the giggles all the way up the valley. They snuck under doors, around verandahs, they floated up the small ridges and through the canopied forest. They drifted under the pecans to the farmstead and through the gaps in the Liquid Ambers and Agapanthus.
The giggles that came with pure fun and joy.

The installation of a street library started a small war in Three Corners. Declarations were made, lines drawn, friendships that had spent a lifetime in solidarity split asunder, and one marriage ended in divorce. Produced by Postie, photo by Erik Mclean.

Exotic in a traditional sense of course, the Club knew its demographic well.
Tables sat on average eight, there were a few fours, a couple of tens, but eight was the usual congregation...Four couples, a clutch of widows, a gaggle of greying bachelors...
