SIDE OF HEAVEN

''Okay, so you have experience with working in a bakery?'' Aunty Fiona asks as we stand in the middle of the closed bakery. It opens at 9:00am and I arrived an hour early so she'd 'show me the ropes'. Also, I wanted to make a good first impression as an employee.

''Not quite,'' I say as she hands me a one of her custom made aprons. ''I worked at a diner. Bob's Eat 'N' Grillz.''

''Oh, I know that place.'' Everyone knows that place. ''They serve the best burgers.'' It was alright. ''I heard the police are looking for the owner and he was involved in some sort of accident. Joe told me all about it because he watches the news more than I do.''

I nod silently. The memories of that day still replay in my mind constantly, the only difference is that now, I don't let it consume me.

''Poor man. I hope he's okay,'' she says sympathetically. ''The world is a dangerous place.''
