PLAYTIME
Reggie woke before his
special clock sounded the hour. He chuckled. Silly really, but waking
unassisted felt good.
His jauntiness faltered
as the eczema in his groin flared. It took effort not to scratch.
He bought a newspaper
and sat facing the adventure playground. The background noise of
children playing delighted him.
Shouts interrupted
Reggie’s reading. '…disgusting… bastard… paedo…'
He looked up.
A young woman
was yelling at him. '...think I don’t know what you’re doing
under that paper? I’m calling the police, you filth.'
Stupid mistake! He knew
his time was up.
'No, it’s my eczema,'
Reggie whispered, mortified.
I hope you enjoyed this story and I look forward to your comments.
