Pint Off Wednesdays
The CoOp was decorated like all the other - in early American Garage Sale. Matt had her bike swung up on his shoulder. She had her backpack and canvases, setting a surprising pace for her short leap she bounded up the stairs.
Her room was on the second floor, nearly at the end of the hall, on the right. From her volumes bag, he now recognized as vintage military consignment, she produced keys. She must’ve had them out to open the outside door but this was the first time he noticed the ring or the bag. She led his mind down rabbit trails.
Her room was about as big as she was, so tiny. Directly across from the door were two green house windows on an exposed brick wall. Above the windows was a large metal arrow Bate’s Motel Vacancy. Between the windows with their blinds drawn up was an easel basking in the now abundant early spring sun. below the easel was a carpet of burlap, drop clothes protected the wood floor from the splotches of color they were riddled with.
