There were cars now that could get over 40 miles per gallon. Not hybrids. Just pure gas burning cars. Full sized ones too. The world was changing so fast. It blewΒ

A domino was pushed. Signals were sent. An irreversible chain was underway. All becauseΒ

It was a cold day according to the internet. But Dale didn't know because he was in a windowless, temperature controlled room. He wondered how nice it would be to be out there in the snow. Feeling it melt against his nose. But instead he was under the

lights....

She walked up to the door and was about to knock. But her hand didn't move. Instead she placed her ear against the wood and listened.
Nobody was home. There was light. And motion. But she could tell the motion was artificial. LikeΒ Home Alone where the kid rigged up different...

Alan could keep the cafe running while she was gone. He'd know how to run the place for at least a few weeks. So she didn't need to get back anytime soon.
But she would need to withdraw cash before alan locked the account. She didn't expect him to do that....

"And also. If she was rescuing a puppy, wouldn't she answer my calls?"
"You got a point there."
Alan didn't say anything. Aaron could sense that his friend wanted him to volunteer to call Imogen again.
"Yeah but I can call her. I'll do it now. How about that?"
"Thanks, Aaron."

When the call came in her gut said don't answer it. She was overthinking though. Like always.
Answer it her mind said. It's your boyfriend. Girlfriend's don't ignore their boyfriend's call.
She was driving though. That could be an excuse. But she'd have to answer eventually. She couldn't drive forever. Not even...

When the dot stopped moving closer to him, Alan felt relieved. He would have more time to himself.
But then an hour or so passed. And the dot stayed the same. He got worried. Began looking up where she was. And it was just the middle of the road.

"Imogen what happened to that cafe? It had so much promise. I remember. This was years ago. I visited. And now I hear you're working a regular job. What happened?"
