Drabble 5: Nightmare
Note: up so soon because you guys are so wonderful and review-happy. Still typing text documents in WordPad, so sorry 'bout any wierd formatting.
Blink buys the newspaper from his former comrade twice daily. He only buys it from Race because Race sells closest to his new tenement. He doesn't spend his days looking forward to the few words they exchange. He isn't worried when Race fails to appear for three days in a row. When he stops by the lodging house, it is only because he happened to be passing by. He doesn't cry when he learns of his friend's fate. He doesn't bury himself into his routines because he is trying to forget.
He never loved Racetrack.
He must have been dreaming.
