The Hungry Dinosaur
Demolition. I always knew this old dilapidated house next door had to go down one day. If only it could have pulled on for longer. Now we have to endure the noise and dust for a year or more as they build their new house. The same inconvenience we must have presented to our neighbours ten years ago.
How that excavator roars, swallowing in the rubble!
memories
of adorable toddlers
all the drama
to trick them finish
a bowl of rasam rice
