The Dark Knight (Apocalypse Weird 2)
“An unseen bell struck once with a distant dull gong and in that single sound, there were notes and chords that stretched away and seemed to never end. Cory closed his eyes and smelled flowers and cherry blossoms.
Cherry blossoms were like the smell of the Slurpee he and Daddy got sometimes.
And his mother.
The air turned dry and warm, and when Cory took his next step forward, he heard the sound of grit being ground into a parking lot. That unique dry echoing sound one hears on a hot day when ...the sun beats down and the air feels like a blast from an oven. The next steps that followed were just like that one and Cory opened his eyes.
He was standing in front of a 7-11.
The 7-11 Daddy took him to sometimes.
“The Slurpee place.”
That’s what he called it.
Cory walked into the store as the doors parted for him. He felt the cool blast of air conditioning. There was no one in the store. No music either. Just the sound of a Slurpee machine ceaselessly whirling. Cory walked toward the machine and watched as the blue and the red Slurpee inside the machine turned over and over as though nothing were ever wrong with the world.MoreLess
