~ Pastries ~

 

 

“Would you like a pastry with that, ma’am?”

 

 

 

I looked up, straight into the morning sunrise; at the first peak of golden light that comes with the draft

 

 

I looked straight into the whisperings of the wind, the tremors of the trees

 

 

I looked at the old woman and smiled

 

 

“No thank you, I’ll be alright for tonight, not long now, are we?”

 

 

 

She shook her head and bowed

 

 

“Are you sure, ma’am?”

 

 

“Not really, no, but thank you for the kindness, I don’t have enough token for a pastry anyhow”

 

 

 

“The pastry comes with the tea, ma’am”

 

Does it now?
