Sometimes a few words can say a lot. But not a lot can always be said about a few words.
At first I was very much against the "the black cat sat on the mat" level of simplicity present here, and I nearly gave up after the first story. Persevered however, and the basic nature does manage to get across the bleakness and honesty of what i can only assume is "the good old days".
I just dont think there's that much here, sorry.
