Day 469 of the Apocalypse
17th May 2036
There was a scuffle at the market today. Ricky’s old crew upended a few stalls as they were running through, almost knocked Toby over. It gave me an idea though. A way for all the village kids to blow off some steam: a football tournament!
I saw several lads kicking a cabbage between them, doing a few keepy uppies between them. Having a friendly game will help relieve tensions and physical exercise always helps. We can arrange a midday picnic, have the match in the village green behind the school. It would be good for everyone to have day off. No work, no stress, just some fun.
I might tell Dad about it, see if he can bring it up at the next council meeting.
Day 480 of the Apocalypse
28th May 2036
Aiden and Josh came by the farm today, to help me pitch the football idea to Dad. They were both on the high school football team and know a lot more about footie than I do. It worked. Dad’s going to take it up with the council – we may be called in to pitch my idea some time this week.
I figured with the school out, forced public speaking would be done with! Apparently not.
