Movie Theater
As I walk out of the movie theater the smell of rain and colder air hit me. The rain had passed and with it there was a break in the summer heat. It was light out and the rain was just starting when I entered. Now it was dark except for the orange light from the street lamps and a few cars driving by. There was only one couple watching the movie. As they walked out I could hear them ask the standard what did you think of the movie question.
I didn’t really think much of the movie. I just wandered in to get out of the rain. I hadn’t been back here since we broke up. We used to share a root beer and a small popcorn. Neither of us had much money back then. We we in college and hadn’t started on our real lives. Graduation changed things. I found a job, liked it, but spent too much time working. She was having trouble finding a job that she could be happy with. We were drifting apart and I never even noticed.
My mind came back to reality and I shoved my hands in my pockets and started the walk home. The dampness made the air chilly.
