his model railway had
stopped running--plastic people
frozen, dust collecting on their
caps--the times tables
redrawn

my god, these are such sad posts.
somehow, the one-liner method adds to the mood, makes it sadder, bleaker.
it's interesting how you're playing with the succinct emptiness in these lines, and im not sure if it's deliberate. if it's not, give it some thought, and write a few more to see how you can pull those same strings without using your hands.
then stop writing them and cheer up.
