( Holland's Dream. )

A - Mitchell Rd.
[When Holland wakes up that morning, he gives Canada a little bit of an extra hug, surprised she's not already awake and cooking breakfast like she usually did.  Then again, they hadn't had power in a few days and it was better to stay warm, stay together.  That's why they'd been sleeping in the kitchen together, with all the ( Read more... )

[Holland is slowly, slowly waking up amidst rubble.  Once he gets past the disorientation of not waking in bed, of not feeling rested and realizing he'd passed out . . . he's going to look for others.  Canada, he knew, was droned, and he feared the worst for her, unable to really defend herself.  He knew Hilda was much more ( Read more... )

[Once home from work, Holland is going to spend a good deal of time listening to the phone lines.  If he understood right, somehow, somewhere, his actual notwife is stuck in a plant of some kind.  And this one at home?  She's fake.  No wonder the pancakes tasted off this morning.  There was that whole ( Read more... )

[Yes, he went to work this morning.  He went to work most mornings, though not as ( Read more... )

[They never drank the milk; they hardly ever took it inside, Holland making sure to put the bottles into the trash bin unopened so Canada and Hilda wouldn't have to deal with it.  There was something satisfying about the crash the glass made as it shattered.  This morning was no different, save for the ugly postcard that went into the trash bin ( Read more... )

I think what I miss most about home while being in Mayfield is my bunny.  His name is Poffertje because his tail makes me think of the little round pancakes -- they're really good, you know.

Anyway, he's really good company and I like talking to him.  We have pretty long conversations and it's nice to hold him because he has really soft and ( Read more... )

[A - morning]

[He slept in; it was a holiday after all, one of his favorite holidays of the entire year.  He kissed Maggie good morning and immediately shed his pajamas, dressing for the day.  After a little toast and coffee he was ready for the holiday.  He can be found in the kitchen or hauling some decorations from the basement. ]

[He liked to spend a lot of Sunday sleeping in and napping; it simply made the time pass by more quickly. Mayfield really did get unbearably dull for Holland and sometimes he got tired of trying to think of something more to do to the house or yard.

So it's well into mid-morning when he finally gets ( Read more... )
