Anne just called me on WhatsApp. Answered but it was clearly a misdial. She had just sent me a message. All I heard was the sound of a zip closing – obviously put her phone into her bag.
This is an everyday occurrence somewhere. We have all experienced it. It doesn’t feel like something that might appear in a history book. Even her trip to the shops wouldn’t make the historical record although that to some extent depends on how long google/mobile phone company/the government keeps the data. It wouldn’t be something you could easily access anyway.
Life is full of so many interesting things. Most folk would probably think you were crazy thinking that hearing someone’s bag being zipped up from the inside was interesting. In a thousand year people might look at it differently. “Oo they used to use bags”, or “what’s a zip or a phone?”
It’s a work of art in its own right. You may not think it is but it is.
“Handbag zip being closed heard from the inside”
There is more. I was the only one who heard this happening. It is a work of art that I have described to you that you need to picture in your own mind. It’s a virtual work of art.
I present it to you with no thought of remuneration. Your enjoyment is my reward. Please accept it in the spirit with which it was offered.
Thank you.
