I was standing outside on a rainy grey day with large yellow leaves falling all around me. Small pink leaves already lay on the ground. Rain was beginning to soak through my coat and onto my skin. I checked my pockets a couple of times before slamming the front door and committing myself to leaving the house. I often find myself checking and rechecking my pockets and purse. Partly because I have tendency to be a bit absent minded but mostly because I have a constant a feeling that I’m missing something. The other day I was sitting on the train. Sat opposite me was a strange looking man who I had a feeling could be a little bit like me. I was looking out the window at a grey city. Watching as blood red burnt across the sky seeping into the darkest and greyest of clouds. I tried to hold the image in my head. Scared to forget the tiniest detail of the scene. Beautifully poignant in it’s fragility. And wondered about the thousands of people’s lives which I was passing. All these people’s lives which I was missing out on. Maybe that’s why I check my pockets and purse religiously. Or maybe its just because I’m very forgetful. Take Care Rachel PS Does anyone have spare London ticket they want to give/sell to me? _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
