Sun glinting off silvered wheels
Skin glistening, legs pumping
Hair ruffled and yellowed
Laughter in the air
***
Friends surround me,
Taking turns to lead the way
Telling jokes at one another’s expense
Laughing throughout the day
***
Shorts and T-shirt dressed
Lightly tanned and healthy
No worries or fears
They're for other days
***
Time whirls like silvered wheels
From that time to this
Now dreams are all I have
Of those wonderful days
***
Still, such a joyous time I had then
The memories still burning bright
Keep me warm when times are tough
And I struggle through the night
***
Sun glinting off silvered wheels
Skin glistening, legs pumping
Hair ruffled and yellowed
In that joyous time

Just Sixty Seconds
Oliver sat at a cold, grey steel-covered table. He knew he was next. The longer he sat here, the more confident he knew he wouldn’t make it. His hands were tied to the chair he was sitting on, pushed up against the steel table. A small camera in the corner of the ceiling with a tiny red flashing light was the only thing he was focused on. He felt sick to the stomach. He knew he didn’t have long.
