Scott took a slug of his beer, reached deep into the breast pocket of his coat, and pulled out an empty pack of marlboros. He flipped the top and was distraught when he saw the empty space where his addiction should've been hiding.
As he shrugged his way into that coat, which has warmed him for years, he thought: Jeez, these sleeves are ******* cold! He told Vince, the immortal barkeep, that he'd return ever so briefly as he stepped out into the weighted rains and ceaseless winds.
Making his way down the road towards the inevitable gas station while counting his dollars and cents, Scott is blinded to the world. But a seventh sense strikes him suddenly and he hears his neck creak as he looks up, over, and across the busy street.
Wait, he thinks, how did she get here? yet there she stands alone on the corner. I'm drunk, the thoughts roar, she's no more.. Cars and trucks cut through his vision and she is but an afterimage, her dripping hair blowing in the unforgetting winds.
She's gone man, his mind screams to him, but it's his eyes that deter potential lies. He actually sees her over there, even meeting her own eyes in an endless moment of futility. Whispering incomprehensibly to himself he steps towards her, onto the street.
That's when life becomes shrouded in screeching tires and burning brakes, and Scott forgets all about his smoke break. That's when life becomes darkness, and she fades away into the rain as a bus paints the road with his brain.
