What do these words mean?
I read a flash fiction and found some words hard to understand. Here they are:
The fires are small and out of season
I try to imagine the flavor of unsaid goodbyes
Some of us go for drinks after
A concerned neighbor calls the police
1) What does "out of season" mean?
2) What does "the flavor of unsaid goodbyes" mean?
3) Some of us go for drinks after. What does "after" mean in this sentence?
4) A concerned neighbor calls the police. What does "concerned" mean in this sentence?
