One Saturday Afternoon
It was a glorious Saturday afternoon, and the sun was shining from a clear
blue sky. Thomas was sprawled out on the bed, his t-shirt damp against his
skin. He turned the page of his book and asked his brother Joshua to open the
window a bit more.
Joshua was standing at the upstairs window looking into the garden and the
fields beyond. He could see mum, tall and elegant, leaning casually on the
flimsy fence and sipping a cold glass of lemonade as she chatted
enthusiastically to Mrs Henderson next door. Mrs Henderson was small, round
and had a big mane of wild frizzy white hair that she had tried to pull back into a
ponytail. She was sweating too.
He pushed the window open as far as it would go.
