NoJoMo 21

 Urghhhh oh dear, I have nothing to say today. Here’s some more mini sagas:

"This’ll only take a second, hold still and then we can get it looking perfect."
"How is a moustache going to land us 20 grand?"
"Patience, patience! You’ll see but for now, just hold… still…"
"Okay it’s done! Now spill."
"Look underneath."
"Genius, you absolute genius."
"We’d better get going."

…

I went down to the woods today, and I’m definitely sure
it was supposed to be a surprise. There’s no other way
to explain the ribbons and streamers – every colour of the rainbow.
I found remnants of a picnic.
But why did they throw my birthday party without me?

…

When you arrive in the village of Latham, please
be reminded that we have a lot of elderly residents who enjoy peaceful
streets and good behaviour.
Good behaviour is rewarded.
The church is on your left.
Curiosity is not an option.
Stay on your side.
Leave now.
Get out.
Run.

…

I don’t remember much before the event.
I do remember my mother telling me go play outside cause
it made me healthy. I can’t remember where to find outside,
I always get lost. There are so many steps I get tired,
I have to turn back. I’m not healthy anymore.

…

We could hear mum’s calls across the field for us to come in for dinner.
I started to run, calling "Follow me John!".
I heard him running too, and I picked up speed, rushing
through the golden glow of the yellow grass
caught in the sunset.
And then John disappeared.

…

"We named her Speedy Marie, "she’s built for speed".
Every time we said her name we’d say that phrase.
Every time.
Sailing on her in the Mediterranean summer was
my favourite memory, the wind running through my curls,
the waves jogging me on." 
And that was all he would say.
