Talons

Tuesday, 6th of November

The cat jumps onto the chair and  lowers the furry head for petting. Rub the fur between the ears, the cat starts to purr.

Walk down the alley, pass the church. Cross the old market street, and go down the theater street towards the town gate.

And thus leave the old part of the town, and go to the bus stop.

Dolores is looking at the electronic announcements board in concern. It predicts that the bus will arrive  ten minutes late, Wish the bog cotton man  his good morning.

Read the written his timetable on the noticeboard attached to the pole of the bus stop. There has been no change of timetable.

The bus arrives, the driver is a stranger, he is in a hurry, he is ten minutes late.

Leave the bus at railway station, and go straight to the cafe. Over the counter of

glass order a large coffee. The woman making the coffee has multicoloured fake nails, the girl serving the coffee later on has steel-blue talons. There are fake eyelashes on show as well, a strange concept of adornment and beauty.
