    Something About the Lake

    When they were about 19, the twins left home for the city. I’m pretty sure it was Rory’s idea, but Mabel was always keen to follow along. They lived above a Chinese restaurant, ate cheap noodles, wore the scent of kung pao chicken and apprehension on their handmade clothes. They sent a postcard once a week, with pictures of shiny glass buildings and busy streets all lit up at night, but they never did tell much. They seemed happy, I suppose, but we all knew they wouldn’t stay away long. There’s just something about the lake that calls people home.

    Sunrise

    The morning light hasn’t made its way over tall buildings to reach into this alley, a thin walkway of shops, still sleeping in the darkness, dreaming of the vendor heaven’s god who will rain profit down upon them before noon.

    The ca-ching of purchases all day long will be heard in the buzz of overhead wires warming up to take orders near and far for fresh fish and melons in handcarts that will soon rattle into this side street, a shortcut for children racing to beat the classroom bell’s ring and a pitstop for cats, tired from nightly prowls.
