~ The 2 Sisters ~

 

 

 

 

 

The breeze outside was wailing, flipping my hair, throwing back my face

 

 

 

 

I closed my eyes

 

 

 

 

I heard sounds; distant from those I was currently hearing

 

 

 

 

 

 

I saw the night approaching quickly in the east

 

 

 

 

Two girls were flapping their skirts, holding one umbrella high over their heads while it was pouring

 

 

 

 

A man was walking behind them; no umbrella

 

 

 

 

His pants had soaked through and his hair; a mop on his head

 

 

 

 

 

He was relieved of his suit, only his undershirt remained; even that had soaked through

 

 

 

 

The train continued forward; the two girls stopped at an intersection

 

 

 

 

The man had his hand out to call a taxi

 

 

 

 

 

One of the girls told the other girl something which made her blush and turn around

 

 

 

 

“Something for solace…”

 

 

 

 

The blushing girl went up to the man

 

 

 

 

 

The man stopped and adjusted his suit he was carrying over his shoulder

 

 

 

 

 

 

The girl stopped the man and spoke softly in his ear while stifling back a giggle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The blushing girl went back to her friend and told her to do the same thing

 

 

 

 

 

Her friend went over to the man who still hadn’t moved and gave him a peck on the cheek

 

 

 

 

The rain was falling harder now

 

 

 

 

The train’s siren blared and I came out of my memories

 

 

 

 

“WE’RE HOME! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, WE’RE…”

 

 

 

 

A woman my age came into the caboose, where I was, and stared at me

 

 

 

“OH SORRY! I THOUGHT YOU WERE…”

 

 

 

 

She didn’t finish her sentence as she was already turned around; heading back inside the train

 

 

 

 

The rain was so loud

 

 

 

I wonder what Burlesque is doing

 

 

 

 

I looked at my watch; it was 3; rain clouds had already formed I the sky; getting thicker with every moment that passed

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder if my tea was cold

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took one more look at the darkening sky

 

 

 

 

I let out a sigh

 

 

 

 

I bet I could sit here for hours and just… watch the sky and the rain

 

 

 

 

And so I did
