Wall

A news report on the radio told of a wall that had collapsed in Scotland today, killing two men, and injuring another two. And that was it. It was more specific about where in Scotland the wall collapsed but nothing else.

Bins

As I tried the door of the fenced-off area to the bins I heard someone pipe up, "Hold on a minute." I pushed the door open with a little force to find one man getting up off the floor, awkwardly, in a cramped space by his rucksack, as he said, "Come on, we've got to go," to another man next to him. The man next to him was squatted over a flattened out empty crisp packet on the ground, hands steady with his mobile phone. He said, "I've got to take a photo of this crisp packet. I'm a student."

I slung my bag of rubbish into one of the big bins and closed the door behind them.
