An open invitation to all Mayfielders because I don't think I've put this anywhere really public before.

( 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... )

[It's just another day.  Another day since nuclear annihilation and being shot by cannibals.

Holland checks the mail on his way out.  He hadn't gotten anything yet, but since Canada got the moose, he was sure he had something coming.

But it's not until he gets to work that he opens it.  Big mistake.]

A - [The Pharmacy]

[It's slow at the pharmacy ( Read more... )

[A] - 1447 Mitchell Rd.

[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... )

A - [1447 Mitchell Rd.] - for housemates

[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... )

[A] - (The streets of Mayfield)

[It's a ridiculous sight, really. Not as if Holland would care how he appears to anybody but himself but he's--

He's walking his bunny.

The small animal has a bright orange harness on, there is a leash attached, and he's slowly walking down the sidewalk as Poffertje investigates various plants, cracks in the sidewalk, ( Read more... )

[A] - Phonecall home for welljustwatchme and/or backinblackcity

Canada?  Hilda?  If one of you are there you should say so.

[B] - Phonecall

Hello?  I need-- I need someone.  It's strange . . .this is Netherlands and I'm at the pharmacy; there's--

[And he's no longer on the line.]

[C] - The Pharmacy

[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... )
