‘THE FAIRY WHO DIED IN CAPTIVITY RE-IMAGINED: SARA’S STRIKE FOR CLIMATE’ BY HANNAH DALY
Sara stayed on the bus past her stop. Whilst checking her bag for her headphones, she looked over the provisions she had packed for her day of rebellion. She wasn’t going to school today. Walking along the Ipswich Waterfront, with a podcast playing in her ears she tried to ignore the rising anger that her father had left in her. She sat down on a bench and stared out at the boats moored on the river. It was a still calm day. The sun beating down in a cloudless sky, but the heatwave did seem to be ending. Upon the surface of the water, a swan made its way through the green algae leaving a snail-trail of clean water in its wake. She was going to start university soon. Surely, she should be the one to decide what she did or didn’t eat? Story continued in Suffolk Folk (2021)
