Twilight Zone

By Maryanna Gabriel

Saturday morning is market day on Salt Spring Island, a time for a local inhabitant to proceed with caution with the crowds. Normally it is impossible to wend one's way into town and errands on a Saturday morning are out of the question. I braved it.

It was like the twilight zone. The streets were practically deserted as the recent travel restrictions have impacted visitors. A quick glance at the stalls showed me the vendors were all set up. However, nobody was there. It felt so eerie. 

It is always good to retreat to the garden. The Dogwood, the flower for British Columbia, is in full blossom. It feels soothing to stand under.
