I saw:

A white wooden cross marking the place where a tree once stood.

A small boy walking by himself, stopping occasionally, frowning, lips moving, glancing about, deep in his own story-game.

My own shadow on the shadow of a bridge.

Three seeing-eye dogs on the beach. Off leash but still on duty, each keeping a close eye on their person.

Okay, I am looking for freelance writing work. I'm not going to get the car repaired by curling up and crying. What's more, if possible, I want something that's steady and could lead to something substantive.

I'm not stopping Set Side B, far from it, but I can do more I think. Something about or in games would be best, since it's where a lot of my interest lies. Does anyone have something available?

"#Myanmar’s military coup in 2021 has triggered a widespread humanitarian crisis but also a breakdown in the rule of law. And the security situation is getting worse by the week. With the rise of lawlessness, the coup has provided freedom for cyber-criminals, human traffickers and gunrunners to operate along the border with Thailand. In the city of Shwe Kokko, Karen State opposite #Thailand’s Mae Sot, #Chinese triad gangs and criminals are exploiting the turmoil following the military takeover to expand their criminal activities.

"(...) Last year, #Filipinos, #Malaysia​ns, #Indonesia​ns, #India​​ns, Thais, #Taiwan​ese, #Bangladesh​is, #Brazil​ians, #Kenya​ns, #Colombia​ns and Hong Kongers traveled to Thailand on the promise of jobs, only to find themselves trafficked across the border to Shwe Kokko."
