Town days

Walking around the city today everything seems especially dead and down. No one is out, nothing seems to be going on, but not to any big surprise. As I was on my stroll I pass by Dave’s meat shop and see him standing behind the counter. He looked depressed but didn’t everyone in this town. I notice him glaring at some thing, I turn and see a kid on the side walk selling lemonade. Well at least the youth had some spirit in this town. Suddenly I hear yelling in the background. I turn to walk toward it. It’s a couple fighting. I can’t make out who it is. I try to listen. They are talking to fast for me to make out what they are saying. It comes to a stop. They break apart and go in opposite directions. In a split second, it is as if nothing was going on, and I seem to be the only one who has witnessed what happened. I feel like that happens a lot in this town, which makes reporting in the town worth while and that much more difficult. I may be the only reporter but when no one else can tell me what happened it’s hard to make it believable.
