Just Another
Winter’s Day
By Kelly Haycock
He walked along the streets
silently, his hands dug deep into his pockets.
He ignored the laughter of the many children around him, building
snowmen and having snowball fights. Ignored
the brightly coloured lights decorating windows and trees in the front gardens
he walked passed. Ignored the cheerful
smiles of the people he walked passed, carrying bags and bags of gifts ready
for wrapping.
He
passed houses decorated with large and elegant trees taking up most of the
available space behind the fake-snow-covered windows, without so much as
turning to look. He passed shop windows
displaying a multitude of offers surrounded by glittering ornaments.
He passed all this without taking any notice. It had been a long time since he’d felt any emotions. Months since he’d experienced excitement, anticipation or even joy. For Captain Black, the approaching Christmas holiday was just another winter’s day. Just another day for him to carry out his orders from the Mysterons.
