Life is cruel
Ching! Ching!
The sound of the bell rang out in the quiet and peaceful cafe as people entered and exited the cafe. The smell of pastry and coffee was heavy in the air in a delightful kind of way. Light chatter filled the space. At a corner near the window of the place Emery was deep into her new book. It had quite an interesting plot.
The plot of the book was about how in an alternative world one day a mysterious tower had appeared and how people were forced to go inside of it. The story followed a very mischievous character that instead of following the rules was more busy exploring this brand new world. Emery quite liked the book.
The table in front of her had two cups, one filled to the brim with coffee and the other one with hot chocolate. The plates held different pastries with chocolate filling and without a doubt one held a double layered triple filled dark chocolate cake. Light was coming in through the window and reflected the brightness in her eyes. It was warm. Right now Emery felt completely at peace.
She with a sigh and without looking away from her book she took a straw in her mouth and allowed the taste of cold coffee to fill her senses. While she was enjoying herself, news was playing in the background about how the terrorists were on the run now after the arrival of some unknown people.
It was being speculated that these new people were part of some type of law enforcement from inside of the tower. They were currently busy chasing the terrorists as they made their way towards Taila Highway in hope of escape and..... 'Wait.' With a shake Emery stopped drinking. 'What!? '
With a speed that broke the laws of physics(not) Emery turned her head towards the TV with a very obvious look of shock. Taila Highway was at the east of the city. This place was at the east of the city. She was at the east of the city.
" Great. Just great." Said Emery as she stood up without wasting a single second. With the fastest speed she could pull off she picked up her book and bag and walked to the counter to pay for her food. [ She wasn't going to be caught shoplifting, even dead.]
With a speed that was equal to the speed of light(again not) she made her way to the door but turns out the universe really had a funny and irritating way of doing things. Right at the moment she was about to exit the cafe something crashed into the glass windows and broke straight through.
Screams rang out all over the place as glass shards were flying everywhere. Emery almost got hit by them. She quickly used her bag to cover her face and closed her eyes tightly as she waited for the pain to hit but even after counting to 10 she still could not feel anything.
Opening one of her eyes she was dumbfounded. It was only then that she realized that the window that had been broken through was on the other side of the room. Feeling embarrassed Emery silently gritted her teeth as she complained in her mind. ' This damn reflex! '
With a blank face she turned around and opened the door and walked straight out completely ignoring the cat fight that broke out on the inside. The outside was no better than the inside. Everyone was in a mode of hypertension and everywhere was nothing but a panic zone. People were more busy running away than anything else.
Walking through the chaos of the outside no one noticed her ears which had turned a pinkish red. 15 steps in (Yes she was counting) an ear deafening sound rang out from behind her. At the sound Emery was stopped right in her tracks. She had no choice but to turn around. What greeted her sight was the image of a completely destroyed cafe.
Emery could feel one of her eyes twitching as her entire body shook from too much shock. There she stood looking at the rubbles of one of her most favorite places with her mouth wide open and her eyes red at the corners. It was then that Emery had no choice but to acknowledge that ' Life was truly cruel. '
