The Sinead in this short bit of fiction is not a singer!

London jazz

Morning rush-hour sounds cavort with newspapers that fly across cobblestone streets into open doorways. Subway sounds rush through London's waking dreams

Dreams 3 - An End To Dreams

The third written in the Dreams set. The 'Viewers' Veiw in the Dream. Thought of as a woman by me and a strange obsesion by the man 'Storm Dreaming' can be somewhat explained by reading the Web Comic 'Esuna Soul' which can be found in my bookmarks section.

Alien Experiences

Rita was a large woman; shiny earrings dangled from her ears, purple eye make up stared out from under her brows and her high heels tramped noisily on the marble floor. She and her husband had been in the country for twenty-five years and owned an electrical shop in Orange Grove, central Johannesburg. Before talking about the business on hand, we talked or rather she reminisced about Britain and wanted to know how it looked, as she hadn't been back in years. After some minutes, the conversation moved to the present day situation: South Africa - its people, her worries and fears. I offset this by telling her how excited I was to be here, in the continent of my forefathers. I suddenly realised I said this without thinking when I saw the look on her face. But you're not African!' she exclaimed, 'You're British ' as I am!' It was said with some desperation and urgency. For that split second, images came flooding in my mind. Some years back when I was a student at Southgate Tech, on my way home there would be times I would have to wait for a bus either in the pouring rain, the cold weather or the hot sun. I'd meet little old ladies whose conversations would always begin about the erratic nature of the British weather ..............

Shopping Day

As I turned into Bowling Lane, a white man from a speeding bakkie (van) shouted something in a tongue I didn't understand. (I found out later it was Afrikaans) I didn't need to. Whatever was said there was no mistaking the contempt and hate. It was then realized that what Thandie said was ringing true. The route I took was lined with thick trees and soft turf that surrendered with each tread I made. As there was no pavement I decided to walk along the red path close to the huge houses. Each house I passed, German shepherds, Dobermans, Rotweiler's ran to me spitting and barking, with only the electronic gates separating us. Thandie's prophetic warning was now like massive bells ringing in my ears. At one party I attended, somebody told me that guard dogs had been trained to smell blacks and attack on sight. I pulled my blouse away from my neck, dipped my head and drew a quick breath through my nostrils. It was hot and the sun stood alone against the flat blue sky; a thick layer of sweat had already settled on my forehead but I could still smell the Dewberry body fragrance I bought from Body Shop in North London. The white froth dribbling from the corner of the Rotweiler's mouth with its programmed eyes scrutinising its mark, quickly told me that no amount of fragrance was going to make much difference if those teeth ever got me!

Phased out

I shall never forget what I have just lived through. The events which took place were not of the kind one can simply push aside. Although I dearly wish I could. I fear the memories will forever linger like phosphorescent sparks cascading through my head, no matter what I do. I don't believe I will ever be able to look at our beloved world in the same way again. It was - how should I put it - a rather hair-raising experience. An experience I would not wish on my worst enemy.
