The Museum Of Everyday Items

The Museum Of Everyday Items (to be renamed The Museum Of Obsolete Objects in 2066) is a small collection of common yet otherwise unremarkable artefacts from contemporary Britain. All items were collected on June 23rd, 2016, at the moment of their use. They were kept in storage until the opening of the museum on June 23rd, 2026.

Currently only available online, it awaits a permanent real world home.

Notes:

1. I’m not 100% sure why I made this but I did
2. All the information contained within the museum is as accurate as I can ascertain
3. All the the items are now once again safely stowed in the shoeboxes in my cupboard which they call home

Tale #64: Memorial for the executed generals of the siege of Colchester

A town built upon the dead
the starved
and the murdered
and those left to die
in the deprivations
of imprisonment

and in the flames too
and the fire
of earlier devastations

We don’t remember the names
of the innocent beneath our feet

Yet the names of those that
should have died nameless in their guilt

we repeat them
we repeat them

The Wind

The perfect propagative properties of the atmosphere meant our voices travelled forever, and even our whispers and sighs could be heard again and again as they swept around the globe and back past us, day after day, year after year, lifetime upon lifetime, our whole history carried on the wind.
