Crispina Creative Challenge – A Sign of the Times

There’s a new cable system going to be installed on our road to Gulf Cove.

What? How on earth will I get to my house!

You’ll have to go through the round-about on Gillot Street.

That’s so inconvenient for the people who live in this community.

Well, at least, we’ll be getting a better cable system. Internet and streaming will be faster.

Oh beans, why don’t people just read or play games for recreation.

It’s all going to be computers and television. It’s time to adjust to the times.

Oh beans, I’m too old for this stuff.

Her dad had spoken of the war many times.

It always made him sad.

Still, he loved to tell those war stories despite the pain.

“We were good soldiers,” he’d say.

“We did our best but a lot of boys died trying.”

“Dad, are you enjoying the vintage airplane show?”

“Oh yes, dear, I am”.

I could see a tear start to fall.

Perhaps, this wasn’t the best outing today.

Come to the edge, he said. You can see the sea.

I’m afraid, I said.

The menacing sky will soon pass, he said.

Will you hold my hand? I said

I am with you forever and evermore, he spoke with a radiant smile.

Together we leaped across to places beyond the horizon.
