Closing time

sorenbarrett

It had been a cold gray day, shadows reached out to greet him before he knocked on darkness' door

Night had always been a gracious host, serving him sweetened dreams and a warmed glass of hope

But tonight he had different expectations

Cold bitter nightmares, a martyr's drink, served with aged crow lay on the table

He felt a draft blow through his bones, the kitchen now closed

A meager cold supper on a winter's night
