Prompts = Existence, Shade, Holiday
Dreams of retirement, a permanent holiday: lawn chair under the shade of a palm tree looking out at the gently rolling Hawaiian surf, sipping iced drinks and contemplating a life well lived. All the cares of the world left behind. Plenty of time to contemplate life, ponder existence, discover the meaning behind It All.
Sea, sky, and a good book.
‘Hey! Rookie! You coming?’ The sergeant grabs me by the shoulders, looks me in the eye. ‘I’ve seen that look before. You’ve got forty years before you earn that look!’
Tomorrow it’s thirty-nine years, three-hundred-sixty-four days.
