The Day of Our Valentines

The Day of our Valentines Valentine´s day is when horrors begin at dawn on the island/town of Hashima abandoned now, not a soul, only a black and white TV is on silently re running life as it was lived here before humanity suddenly left. On a grey wall a faded drawing of a heart with an arrow through it ,and words written underneath: Happy Valentine´s Day. We know now, should humanity be eradicated by a dervish wind of pestilence, what will be left is decaying buildings, rotting books, and the eerie silence of what we were not able to say. (a small Island in the bay of Nagasaki)

Dear Jan - Each of us a human individual tied to someone. The horror of not one left. As always, your talent brings it startling to the page. Hope you are well. love, Kathy
