37 Degrees Celsius (part I)
A single poster was stuck to the otherwise white and bare walls of the waiting room. It was an advert for holiday assurance, which made little sense to Smithy, as the job he was applying for didn’t seem to have anything to do with luxurious breaks.

Dust to dust.... I liked the melancholic, wistful feel of this and the strong imagery. Nicely done.
