The Slideshow

The house behind the pier, Tee at his laptop with the old photographs and Bee sorting the prints: first the old photos, then the film; the wedding photo first, then the pier; after the pier, Mum's stall; and last, Grandma singing at the mortar; you filmed her secretly? she'll run off for sure; once she's seen the film, she won't run; after the photos the speech, after the speech the cake; after the cake, I breathe: one thing then the next.
