Half Past

People Over Politics, World Over Wealth

The shadow on the sundial had stopped moving.

Half past one.

The sun hung in the cloudless heavens above.

It grew warmer.

I wondered what had happened to all the people.

I saw no-one.

I paced, waiting for you to return home again.

Gone for hours.

Sweat poured from my brow as I waited for news.

Were you missing?

Restless and full of fear, I fretted and wondered.

Were you dead?

Startled, I heard a sound behind me and whirled around.

There you stood.

I looked behind you and understood in sudden comprehension.

Your door flapped.

It no longer felt as if the whole world had stopped.

Your tail wagged.

I squatted down and called you to me, more than overjoyed.

You kissed me.

I hugged you and ruffled the fur around your muzzle.

You wagged harder.

I stood up, relieved and happy, and looked out the window.

Shadows had shifted.
