George willed his hands to stop trembling as he fumbled to strike the match. It wasn’t much, but this brief flicker of light, the only illumination that he and his seven mates had, and to which they had rationed themselves only every few hours since their batteries had lost their charge, gave them all a moment of hope in their dark prison. They had little else. Time was running out, and they knew it. |

Thanks Marg. It does seem to be a continuation of the previous story. Hmmmm. Not intended, but they do fit well together. |

I was trying to carry on with Doug's continuity idea, but obviously our narrator is so addled, due to being so oppressed and exploited, that she can't even remember that her late brother-in-law was a miner. |

George is gonna to be sorely missed here at the park, he is. But you know, every cloud has a silver lining and I have every confidence Marge is gonna do right by us, I do.Why you all saw her, same as I, coming down the walk every morning just before the old town clock could strike seven, scatterin' that little bag o' crumbs. Never once did she show any prejudice, treated us all the same, she did. Gave us all hope, she did. |

Patiently waiting now to see which path Marg's continuum will take. |

Albert cast a wary eye skywards as he opened his prayerbook. It wasn’t like him to feel prejudice toward any living thing, except, occasionally, for the wife that constantly harangued him, but the way these pigeons had gathered in the trees all around was making him uneasy. He glanced over at Marge, who, through her tears, still managed to watch the flock with wonder and delight. Well, they were her birds, in a way, and he guessed that if their presence was of some help to her, then he’d tolerate them for her sake. |
