That older generation stayed together. Not anymore.
Did they take their secrets to their grave?
'I shuffle along the horizontal planks of the Jetty. One, two, one, two, like a rusty train. I don’t remember the gaps between the planks being so large. I know it’s based on my perception, which has changed. I feel it this year. Nobody wants to admit that they’re old.'
About getting older?
This was one of the first stories that was ever accepted for publication. It was a good one, a magazine called Verandah, Issue 25. Can't recall the exact year of publication but the story was written in 2009.
The story ended up in my first Story Collection, Pseudo Stars in 2017.
