The
pint glass is placed on the
table, upon a crinkled piece of
paper advertising the
club. It waits there doing nothing, waiting to be picked up and to be sipped out of again. It grows
old, waiting in its own world, with the music playing loudly, it can hear it in the
back of its mind.
Someone approaches and picks up one of the glasses next to it, a
young glass that has still got plenty in it.
It watches its
life dissapear as someone drops the end of their
cigarette into its open top. The
wrapping around it unfolds and it
sinks to the bottom of the glass. That is the end of its life. Someone knocks it over and it
lies on its side, the contents
spilled over. Then slow
drips drop onto the
wooden floor. Making small
splashing sounds that are
drowned out by the loud
music still playing in the back of its
mind.
Ripples roll out from the
epicentre of the small pool. The
cracked glass lies on the table.
Old and
dieing.
