Micro-story

A brown man walking past with his two young children in the grounds of a hospital. The boy is younger, the girl (in her bright pink puffer jacket) is about six. The man laughs as he walks past, explaining she had just read and asked about the sign back there. It says: Sexual Health Clinic.
