The South had been a place full of freedom and joy, long joyous summers full of choices to be made. Family, responsibilities and being extradited meant that it was time to return up North. I quickly dismissed the idea of getting the permitted haircut, the same one as the Leader to win favour upon my return, after all they can only execute me once.
Terror that this day had actually came filled my body. How could I face my fellow countrymen, my old work colleagues and friends - at least those who had survived the fallout.

North Korea comes to mind, Shona. I'd take the execution over having the leader's haircut.

Wow, loved this too. Yes, makes me think of Korea too, or possibly some future dis-United Kingdom!! What a weird thought, given I'm pro-independence... Comments are closed.
