A New Day

a new day early morning, silent morning the building is still sleeping, the few cars driven by those who start early for work could be bakers or cooks beginning their shift. A lone ship is still anchored in the bay it is an old ship waiting for a charter, the cook is up must prepare breakfast he has a long day ahead of him he is on the deck peeing into the sea and smoking a cigarette before going back into the galley. More cars are filling the road and the small supermarket, near the petrol station, is open it has a counter and sells coffee and cakes. The building is waking up toilet flushes, door slams, voices, a new day has begun.
