On the Bench #stratford 4

You may not notice her at first. Her yellow is an attempt to camouflage into the monument from behind. It makes her look like the keeper of the tomb, and that you may only pass by with permission. Though the edges of the spire are faded, she could have fallen from the top of the spire, as it’s almost a portal. Her shorts even match the brown blotches. She’s just dusting herself off. Though I suppose the bench could have fallen out of a flap behind the shield. She’s a modern gnome. She’s forgone the fishing rod since there’s no water nearby and swapped the hat for sunglasses to make herself look cooler. She’s even posing to look like a young spring chicken, though she might have been caught unawares as she’s preparing herself for a better pose. I wonder if anything younger will fall out of the spire as the crack travels further up?
