All At Once
Life at its most random and unpredictable state. Comment Please!
"Wha...?" he began clearly shocked some random teenager bothered to interrupt his life with such a... personal question.
Ilea repeated her question once more and again waited for the man's response.
"I don't know you. Wouldn't I have to know you to answer your question?"
Ilea pondered his answer for a moment. They are almost halfway to the other side of the street. "I guess you're right. But, if you did know me and just judging on what little you know about me, what would you say?"
The man stared off with a puzzled look on his face until he glanced back at Ilea smirking.
"Well what is it?" she wondered aloud, eying the oncoming curb.
"Love." He replied simply and then quickened his pace so that there were five steps between him and Ilea. As he was seemingly stepping back into his life, he abruptly stopped and swiveled around to face Ilea with an unanswered question on his face. As Ilea was about to ask the man what was on his mind, a rouge driver plowed him down leaving the spot where he was stood vacant. The driver sprinted out of her car to reveal a large pregnant belly and a terrified look on her face. "My baby's coming! I couldn't stop...." She cried to anyone that would listen.
Ilea smirked humorlessly. "One life gone; another born." She reached the curb at last and pulled out her umbrella slowly. The dark sky began to sprinkle and just as unexpectedly, pour.
