The Pedestrian
By Erica De Petrillo (inspired by the Ray Bradbury short story of the same name) Eight o’clock, I walk alone I feel my feet on the cold hard stone The lights are out, save for the screens A graveyard littered with colourful machines In ten years of walking by night or day I’ve never…
