They didn’t come to the party.

And I missed them.

Today in de ja vu - town is busy - maybe the difference this time is that I was in the right. But when I had a confrontation - and yes I still gave him the fingers and this time he would have seen me swearing at him. They didn’t all show up.

I laughed.

Out loud.

Then I felt sad. They didn’t come.

Was something different this time? Why didn’t they show up? Is this healing?

I waited a moment for them. Just in case they were still getting organised, it is that weird time between Christmas and New Year’s after all.

But they didn’t show.

And so I went on.

Let’s see what happens next time.
