My parents died in an air crash three years ago<\/p>\n
And in their will they left me our apartment<\/p>\n
Which is in the shitty part of town<\/p>\n
When I was growing up I did not care<\/p>\n
But now I hate looking out of the windows<\/p>\n
As all I can see are concrete buildings<\/p>\n
Full of faceless people such as myself<\/p>\n
Of late I have noted graffiti appearing nearby<\/p>\n
It is of no merit and is pure vandalism<\/p>\n
I watched the artists late one night<\/p>\n
Spraying the rough walls until I grew tired of their excess<\/p>\n
I then shot at them with my late fathers service pistol<\/p>\n
They fucked off at once and did not return<\/p>\n
Which I suppose was a victory of sorts for me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adam inherited his farm when his father was killed in a tractor accident<\/p>\n
He did not have a mother who he guessed to be a passing itinerant<\/p>\n
Who had lived with his late father when he was very young<\/p>\n
The farm which was vast was divided up into six sections<\/p>\n
With two of the sections being fallow by rotation and the others set to wheat<\/p>\n
He was happy with the progress of his farm with the exception of the sixth section<\/p>\n
This bothered him as his late father had been a meticulous man and had recorded<\/p>\n
The number of fence posts in every section but the tally in section six showed inconsistencies<\/p>\n
There should have been four hundred and ninety six fence posts in the area of section six<\/p>\n
But Adam could only count four hundred and sixty eight which was a shortfall of twenty eight<\/p>\n
This confused and alarmed him in equal measure as he thought that he was being invaded<\/p>\n
By the flat ash wastes that surrounded his farm so he removed<\/p>\n
All the fence posts in section six and never farmed it again<\/p>\n
