Alyssa and OPEN Who: Alyssa and OPEN What: trying to outswing her feelings Where: the park When: Mon. evening Warnings: possible pot smoking
Alyssa loved her job. Tonight, for instance, she discussed an upcoming project the customer sounded so excited to start. Alyssa helped her pick out the materials needed. And a mom brought in her child who wanted to learn to draw, 'like in comic books'. While Alyssa definitely didn't work in the comic book medium, the owner decided to offer classes, in a joint venture with the library.
But, when work ended, Alyssa didn't immediately head back to the house. She didn't expect to take Jason's leaving so hard, but it felt like the heaviness might not leave her. One of the townies who had a crush on her took pity and sold Alex a join dirt cheap. But, for now, Alyssa decided, instead, to go to the park instead. The swings looked empty and maybe she could outswing the negative feelings. Because she certainly couldn't cry again. Deep down, she knew her feelings ran deeper than Jason's disappearance.
Thankfully, she didn't have much homework tonight, as she'd gotten a head start the day before. So, she jumped on a swing and started pumping her legs. In the distance she saw someone heading for the park.
