Cut-off

No warning: it just happened! There one moment, gone the next: the railings and my childhood. They moved me along, the men did. I was on the railings as usual just hanging about waiting to grow up, waiting to get out - escape.
The men had come with their van and the strange huge metal bottles and spanners and torches and masks: bringers of magic and takers of railings, they lit their ridiculous little wands and hissed at my railings - and they fell, the railings fell!
How could this be? What was there left to believe in if railings could fall just like that. How could I remain a child and have no railings to swing on - were these men the Germans I was hearing about all the time?
I stamped my foot and it echoed up the alleyway, but they didn't go away like the cats.
鈥淏last it!鈥�
I would have to grow up now.
