Friday Flash – Bianca at Sea
Bianca at Sea
Every day she wore a clean black skirt, a fresh white blouse. Every evening she walked between the tables of the empty restaurant and polished the glasses behind the bar. She served drinks to solitary businessmen and loud groups of young men trying to impress their new girlfriends.
Foreign football teams soundlessly contested goals on giant screens. Beyond the picture windows lay blue sky, the empty sea, a deserted beach. Three separate kinds of infinity.
Every day Bianca wished someone would walk through the door and restart her life. She had forgotten that person was already here.
