ANZAC Day


6.30 am, the dawn has not yet broken over Cathedral Square as hundreds gather to remember the lives lost by New Zealanders since WWII at Gallipolli. Parents, children, old vetrans and current service members all crowd the pavement to sing hymns to the memory of soldiers lost. All is still and silent except for the cracking report of guns saluting the past and looking forward to a more peaceful future.

Message sniper! Electronic hit-and-run! Um, premeditated...reply-slaughter. Anywho, loquacious is a fun word. Wanna pen pal?
