The Professional Women of Purgatory by Ryvr
The tribe of aging women signaled among themselves their intention to move on to the next house on the street. Their nearly synchronized steps began in a motion quite slower than the second-hand on an old clock, building smoothly to a Southern mosey tempo.
After arriving several meters down the road, arranged like a school of fish, they drifted to a set of new tasks. A few mutters served plenty well for communication to direct each to her correct assignment. Some prestidigitated quick structural repairs to the house by use of clever tricks since there were not actually materials to use for patching. Changing the angle of a shutter to lay a shadow over a severe crack in the edifice was happily effective. A small group efficiently corralled fallen branches and leaves into a tidy pile. These would be collected for burning before the cool of Autumn.
The women studied the ground intensely since it would be like sacrilege for them to acknowledge the approaching carriage pulled by a horse. One woman who mentioned weeks ago how nice it would be to hear the sound of a car engine was no longer welcome with the group. She had made it sound as though things had changed.
The man with somewhat greasy hair hanging well down his back gently shook his reins. He smiled wistfully to see these women wandering around their dead neighborhood. They were like ghosts in purgatory who could not move into the new heaven, and they still thought suburbia was alive.
And for entertainment and historical purposes, you may view my old blog at: http://ryvrscrawl.blogspot.com/ ... I will undertake a post-mortem review of what was right and wrong in that blog within the next few weeks.
