FICTIONAL STORY · CHAPTER 2
A shared break
Nigel Tucker · FREE STORY
Nigel looks at the postcard Colin brought. The conversation turns to breaks at work. First in the army and later on building sites, he liked the moment when everyone put their task aside for a while. Someone handed out mugs; someone moved a chair. The details of different days sometimes get mixed together, and he does not force them into an order. One thing remains simple: it was good to sit together. Nigel straightens the notebook on the table and smiles at the thought that the most important tool during a break could be the kettle.
