One last wistful look at the mist on the hillside before I go.

A deep breath in, filling my lungs with the fresh air. It is quiet, only the birdsong breaks the silence.

No one else is around this early in the morning. Others will come later for their turn.

For me, that’s it for today. Tomorrow I will be allowed out once again.

It’s been a year now. I enjoy my routine. Now, it’s back to the factory for my eighteen-hour shift.

Everyday we have to work hard to make up for the time lost during the virus. We must all do our part to resurrect the global economy.

This is a response to the #writephoto Prompt: Wistful curated over at Sue Vincent’s Daily Echo. Click on the link to read other stories inspired by the image.

I hope everyone is safe out there. We’re in lockdown here, but are allowed out once a day for exercise. I’m one of the few still travelling to work each day, in a largely empty building. Strange times.
