Concrete Island 🏝️
When he found the first one , Simon didn't tell anybody. He hid it in the pocket of his dark grey overall suit and joined the other children who were playing in the sand-pit. That night, when his mother kissed him good night and went out , he examined his discovery.
It was most interesting:soft, but not squashy, a beautiful new colour, and the scent was strange.
He sniffed it again, it made him feel uneasy somewhere inside.
It reminded him of something, but he couldn't remember what.
The next day its colour was darker, almost black. Later it got nasty and squashy and Simon threw it away and went to look for another.
He ran across the paved playing area and climbed down the vertical ladder to the lower level.
This was forbidden territory for the children.
He was standing on a triangular platform, two sides of which were walled - the short wall he'd just climbed down and a much higher windowless one. The third side ended with a huge drop to the twenty-four stream motorway below.
