Long gone

The land by the sea

Or

How to dance the Purk
The days were getting colder, but at the same time more and more beautiful. Daisy, the Queens little friend from town was visiting. She loved the country, but not all the rocks, and not the roots that she tripped over, and not the bugs and definitely not the  fact that there was almost no people and nothing to do if she didn't built it herself. But she did love the country.
There was a playground. That was kind of fun. Mostly because the inspectors hadn't found it so all of the old dangerous toys still existed here. There was swings that had chains with big holes that most definitely a lot of children before her had got their fingers hurt. In the middle was an re-eally old and way to high slide. Just like it used to be before the inspectors decided that it was not good for children to sit on a metallic slide and get first-degree burns when they tried to go down. And she could also see the Merry-Go-Round - A round metallic platform a bit of the ground that went round and round - Daisy could just see all the children hold on tight, a parent standing next to it and pushing it so that all of the children had to hold on tight if they didn't want to fly off and land in the sand and scrape their knees and arms.
Daisy was just amazed that parents let their children play here and wondered if there had been paramedics standing on the side at all times, just in case. Or maybe all the parents took their children here to punish them. Who knew? It all happened in the past, and as we all know, the past is history, and only a handful of people finds it interesting with history.
