Rust.
As a child I watched the boats on the river, and occasionally caught sight of a Kingfisher at the water’s edge. The lifebuoy had been part of my memories, at first shiny and new, later scuffed and corroded.
Over the years the water silted up and became a dumping ground for abandoned trolleys and treadless tires. Sunlight glinting on something tangled in the weeds caught my eye as a shout for help hit my ears.
Without a second thought I grabbed the life saver from its post, and watched in horror as it disintegrated into a pile of rust.
