Comings and Goings (continued from the Candor page

Guest Writer
“Why not?” He
asked her gently; softly.
“I-I can’t go outside…” she trailed
off, wondering how the mysterious phrase had worried itself
past her lips.
“Why?” He was so close now, close enough to feel
his breath on her cheek…but she felt nothing; nothing
at all.
“I don’t know.”
He stepped hack from her without warning, leaving the space
before her cold and vacant. The sounds of the café
evolved into an eerie silence. Marie gasped, and her free
hand flew to her mouth. No!
Wind whipped through the café the windows completely
broken and haphazardly covered with worn plastic. The tables
that surrounded her and the man were in shambles: the legs
torn off most of them and their matching chairs tipped over.
The paint on the walls was severely chipped, and dust seemed
to cover every inch of the place.
Marie’s legs suddenly seemed to want to give out on
her. Instead, she took a deep breath and looked at the stranger
for some sort of answer.
“Do you remember that day six years ago?” he asked
her. “A man came here. He was angry. It was just supposed
to be a robbery; no one was supposed to die…”
“But I did. Everyone did,” Marie finished for
him.
The man nodded his head silently.
“There’s nothing here anymore,” the man
stated simply.
With that, he left her in the middle of the café, staring
after him as he walked toward the door.
“I’m so sorry,” he whispered sincerely.
“Maybe now you can get some rest.”
He lifted the door off of its rusted hinges and was gone in
an instant. Marie stood there in absolute shock, dropping
the coffee pot on the cold ground. It broke into a thousand
pieces, a puddle of hot coffee spreading all around her feet.
She couldn’t feel a thing.
