Life snap

- a micro-essay

--

Dawn breaks over the sand, a chorus of cockatoos screeching overhead. School kids jostle at the bus stop and joggers puff by beneath the purple jacarandas. The brave few snap on swim caps and plunge into the icy waves. I, braver, join the winding queue for coffee.

I wrote this for Small Truths: a micro-essay competition

Just 300 characters to show an aspect of contemporary Australian life
