1) The yellow flowers cascaded across the garden clogging all the flower beds and encroaching onto the path.
2) The furry buildings where a new thing to her, they had not existed in the city when she had been a student but now they green growths were everywhere.
3) The little bird had a yellow chest and a white ring around it’s dark little eye, it was almost invisible on the river smoothed pebbles, where it sat.
4) Opening his mouth to speak to the assembly, he felt the pressure in his head once more, he needed to go to the Drs but not mid campaign, never mid campaign.
5) The girl held two shopping bags, one was full of fresh veg and fruit only they weren’t that fresh, the other contained icing covered and custard stuffed doughnuts, they were stale.
6) Everyone was proud, everyone had a flag and waved it even if they felt a little bit silly for doing so, there was a future once more and it was one they wanted.
7) The factories arced into the sky, covering the horizon in a bland blanket of brick and mortar and steel and wire.
8) The young solider was no longer young but unlike the photographs his memories where not in sepia and they were not as faded as he could have hoped.
9) The child was filthy but well loved, which is why it’s parents had bought it to the clinic, they hoped for medicine to keep the plague at bay. The nurse flicked the vaccine packet and then twisted the capsule open.
10) The green dress did not suit her, it made her look even more frumpy and 1950’s Mumsy than normal but she did not realise this and beamed with a new found confidence.
