Ficlets

Werk Jerk - time to go away

Mary went to see after Janice in the ladies room. She found the stall easily. There were only two stalls, and in one of them Janice sat, crying as only a woman who had recently lost the love of her life can.

“Janice, you know what Fitz is like. Don’t let that asshole get to you.” she said handing her a clean tissue from her purse.

Janice looked up at her. She tried to say something, her mouth worked stretching strands of saliva, but no sound came out. Mary noticed that she was holding that picture of Tom again.

Janice stood, her face suddenly void of emotion, blew her nose, and stated forward. Mary moved out of the way, and Janice went to the sink to freshen up. She dried her face and turned to Mary, her eyes once again welling with tears, and hugged her as only old friends could. They exited the bathroom, and Janice motioned Mary forward.

Janice found Fitz nearby. He smirked, then fear filled his eyes. One shot rang out then another, and another, until only steady clicks were heard amidst the screaming.
