She threw her bags down on the floor and slid down on the bench towards a woman reading a prayer book. She asked the woman to unhook her necklace. The necklace was silver with a key on it. There must not be anyone at home to unhook her necklace and she decided that some stranger on the train would do it for her.<BR/><BR/>What bothers me the most is that the necklace had a key charm on it not a lock(et) and yet here she was, unable to unhook herself. I thought this image was cruel.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747127203487455690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13585701.post-1121267684036831552005-07-13T11:14:00.000-04:002005-07-13T11:14:00.000-04:00When I cam home yesterday the trash bin in front o...When I cam home yesterday the trash bin in front of my building was swarmed by discarded furniture, as if someone had thrown out their entire apartment.

It is hollow and smells old like cracking, yellowed library book pages.Austenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747127203487455690noreply@blogger.com
