AFTER THE WAR

With Jake out of the room, I find myself staring at Brent. This whole day has been so strange. Brent is also looking at me in complete confusion. We both look at the door Jake disappeared through and then back at each other.

I look at all the coats hanging on the rails against the walls. On one side are women's coats and on the other side are men's coats. I choose a black coat, long enough to hang to the back of my knees. I take it off the hanger and hang the hanger back in its place. I will need to put the coat back where I found it when I come back into this room. Brent also takes a coat off the rail and places the hanger back as a marker so he can hang the coat back where he found it later.
