MicroFlashFiction: Smells of Time


Smells of Time - Steve Coel

In you comes -

in your sad seven year old ironic tracksuit and pair of box fresh.

In you comes -

looking for deals on the bar board behind the counter.

In you comes -

doing quick sums and ordering a dozen shots with your release money which you quickly shares out to punters who aren't interested.

In you comes -

barely missed and completely blitzed, just another forgotten madman.

In you comes -

a madman bent by routine;

a madman twisted by addiction;

a madman caught in the to and fro of the outside which has turned its back and good riddance.

In you comes -

smelling of time.
