SNOW GLOBE
‘ Mama, the little man in the snow globe has moved, he’s twisted up.’
‘Emmaline, don’t be silly, the snow globe people can’t move’
‘And the little lady is stiff ‘
‘Shush child, go play with your snow globe.’
‘I hear our neighbour’s son is stricken with the dreadful Spanish flu, Grace,’
‘People are dying like flies, Robert, it’s an unusually deadly influenza pandemic.’
‘Caught from coughs, sneezes or even talking, we must avoid other people like the plague Grace’.
‘Daddy what’s pandemic?’
‘Don’t you worry sweetheart’.
‘Coming so soon after the The Great War it’s God’s curse for mass slaughter, Grace’.
