Back to Nobody KnowsLeave the story

A fictional scene study / The terrace

A chair of your own.

A woman in a sun hat lifts a bag from the chair beside her. Only if you want it.

She is drawing the garden on the back of a receipt. There are five chairs in the drawing and six on the terrace. You point this out.

I moved mine.

The man across from her says the chairs used to face the water. She says they still do, if you turn them. He turns his a little.

You talk about the tree that shades the café. Neither of them knows its name. For a while you describe the leaves with your hands.

The drawing stays on the table. There is room at the edge for another chair.

An imagined garden, terrace and path toward the water.
The chairs have been moved. AI-generated imagined setting.
