Pollution

It rained today.

I watched the plastic windowsill sag as it slowly melted. The little drops pattering against the glass. Running in rivulets down the resistant silicon, over the silicone seal and onto the plastic sill. The sill dripped with the rain, as it was eaten away.

I sighed.

No going out today. My kit was at the cleaners, and it would be days before I could get over there in just normal clothes and a respirator. Behind me the cat is yawning from the bed, while outside a brief break in the clouds shines a shaft of sunlight.
