Yesterday teatime

After I left the library, I wandered off down the High Street for a hamburger. I hadn't intended to eat anything before dinner but suddenly felt famished. Then I remembered that I had been awake since 5am. The queue in the hamburger joint was formed of some of the unhealthiest-looking people imaginable. Fat, greasy, pallid etc. Then a woman walked in with a small child. The poor thing was ball-shaped, moon-faced and covered in eczema. The woman sat it down at a table and stuck a screen in front of it. What unbelievably irresponsible behaviour from someone who is supposed to be a responsible adult. That poor kid doesn't stand much of a chance.
