Little Green Giraffe

[deirdre]

I took a picture of this plastic green giraffe (in Heathrow airport) because of several emotions it evoked in me. First, it was cute, and yet it seemed all alone, unnoticed. Because of the number of people around the airport, I had to wait for the shot where there would be no people, just myself, the chairs opposite, and the giraffe.

I thought about picking the giraffe up, but one just can't do that these days in airports. I was struck by an odd paranoia.

As I went on a shopping round, I pondered the instilled paranoia, but when I returned to my seat, the giraffe was gone.
