The Restaurant at the End
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 Words
Carolyn looked at the empty booths filling the restaurant. She knew there was no one in back either.
She also doubted much that anyone would visit or eat by day’s end. She came for a last nostalgic meditation, a last quiet thinking before everything changed again.
It would soon be night. When the shroud of darkness fell, things would be much different. They had been for a while. Soon, they would come out, those whose meal would not be found in a diner unless she remained here. She took the knife out of its sheath, unholstered the berretta, and waited.

Ok. I have pretty much decided to write a longer version. I guess I will put it on my blog as a series-post.
Will that help? 🙂

Starting to agree. If I do a longer version, I will keep it nameless in the beginning.
