It was strange, hailing a cab. The last time she had been in this location cabs had a horse somewhere in the mix. Now all that could be seen for miles was a blur of red and yellow. Light and darkness, created a feeling of being in a carnival.
There was no smell of food being cooked in the distance. There was no sense of life bustling about. Life was, and had become, an existence. Brown eyes, with a red hue, gazed up at the site before her in amazement.
The feeling would be fleeting however, she realized quickly at the sacrifice that had allowed it to mature. The memories came flooding back, unwillingly, pushing her farther than she ever wanted to go.
"It's beautiful..."
hooooooonk
A cab pulled up, pulling her out of any reverie.
"Shit."
Her mask put in place, she grabbed the handle and opened the door...peering at the driver who was sitting in the front.
"What're you in a daze or something? Where to lady?"
She sat down in the backseat and looked at the driver with a keen interest.
"I think...I'd like to sit here for awhile...I'll pay...let's just sit for a bit ne?"
The woman driver eyed her in the rearview mirror, green eyes narrowed and scrunched her brow as if she was deep in thought. Sighing she turned to look at the woman sitting in the back.
"Whatever lady, it's your money."
