A Night Out

~ Bryce

I stare at the empty seat

What happened

Immediately my mind says “it’s me!”

No explanation, no words just the empty seat

How more fitting scene

A man that never goes out

Not because he can’t

he does not like to eat alone

Now he sits alone. The pity of the server

Alone with a meal for two

Staring at his phone wishing he could just disappear

Vanish become invisible

Box it up

I am done
