Lost Souls
Filling up another popcorn box
Was becoming so second nature to her she wondered if she would ever leave this town and be amongst people who understood and appreciated her
Until then it was ringing up another order for another family hoping to “connect”
By bringing their wild disorderly children to ruin yet another movie for other guests
She hated the smell of popcorn after working here for two and half years
The buttery smell of kettle clogging her mind
was starting to become stronger than her will to leave this place
How could she leave ?
She didn’t have enough money
She had no plan
Even after working all of those double shifts
she was only able to save enough money to buy a one way ticket to ….
There was no point
What would she do if she got to leave ?
She never got that far in her fantasy
She was tired after her long shifts
Too tired to dream of more
But she knew more was out there
All she needed was a little bit of help
Until then the popcorn machine needed a deep cleaning
And it was her turn again 🙄 go figure
In the corner of her eye
She noticed a woman in a brightly colored two toned suit and
Bedazzled sneakers
Handing the clerk her movie ticket
The woman gracefully proceeded past the ticket clerk
What an odd attire to wear to the movies she thought
She couldn’t get the image of the woman out of her mind…something about her just kept drawing her back in …
*She had to get out of here
She just needed a little bit of help is all she kept thinking 💭
