Fckfrgs habitat  9 of 18 / View all

We asked why fckfrg's habitat was a forgotten bus stop. How do you feel about being at a bus stop for over 20 years? I've been at this bus stop since I was a kid. It's a lovely place. I remember it when it was an ordinary bus stop. I remember it being the bus stop for a nice area with lots of shops and nice houses. I remember being able to walk all the way to the main street and it's all gone now. It's just a big ugly brown thing. I used to sit at this bus stop when I w as at school. It's the place where I bought my first camera. I bought it from a guy who was selling it for a song. I bought it because I saw some pictures he'd taken. He was a photographer. I used to sit there with my fri ends and he used to take pictures of us. I remember sitting there and I'd see people from my school. I'd say hello to them and they'd say hello to me and we'd sit there and have a chat. I'd say to them, 'It's so lovely to see you.' And they'd say, 'It's lovely to see you too.' And they'd laugh and I'd laugh. It was a nice place. Now it's just a place where I sit. I used to come here and I used to sit here. I'd sit on the bench. I'd sit there, I'd get up and I'd look at the sky. I used to look at the clouds. I'd look at the birds flying around. I used to look at the buildings. I used to look at the people. I'd look at them and I'd wonder who they were and I'd wonder where they were going. I'd wonder. I keep wondering.
