TOWN
LIFE
After a life
of servitude on the island followed by the alien abduction, nerves were strung
tight. They squatted in an abandoned building, found enough casual work to buy
food, but the hazards of town life were only negotiated after endless
discussion.
The children
and older girls were closely watched, but the teenage boys refused to obey the elders. They
ventured further and further afield exploring, bringing home tales of daring
along with stolen fruit, while the girls could only hang out of the windows,
watching life pass by.
Then the
most beautiful boy Shoda had ever seen waved to her.
