I've been trying to get back into my writing. Ijust needed to acclimatize and stop scrolling so much. I'm in Poland now, which means there's lots to figure out, including the recycling. They have different rules, different colors of bins and of course the language.

All I had to do was match the little green clovers, yellow crowns, blue shields and red suitcases or blow them up with canons, bombs and spinning magic balls. It was just like Fishdom, the game I had played in the pandemic days.

Tragic Tiny Things

I had been alone for much of the day, not knowing where everyone had gone. The tide was coming up, the clouds descending. I climbed the sand bank and went along a row of luxurious homes, peeking beneath the cement pilings to what looked like a little sandy basement piled with boxes and toys. There was no sign, no barricade or lock, just a plastic toy train, which I moved out of the way. A large…
