More from ~Angel-Violin

The sun rises in ParadiseThe sun rises in Paradise. I wake up and rub the sleep out of my eyes. I get up, make a cup of coffee and stare sullenly into the empty distance while I slowly drink away the mixture of ground up beans and hot water. I open the door, to be greeted by the headlines of the morning paper: "Sixteen people dead after train derailment". Death, again.

You kind of get used to the idea of dying after living in a community like Paradise. It's a home for the elderly, like me, and most people that enter Paradise, leave stiff as a board and white as snow.

Wolken bedekken het land waar de zon probeert te schijnen, en werpen een indrukwekkend schaduwspel over het tarwe dat golft in de wind. Diezelfde wind brengt de wieken van de eenzame molen in de verte in beweging, welken klagen en steunen, maar na al die jaren nog altijd werken als naar behoren.
