mum

147

‘In the gentle embrace of the lamplight, she sits—a woman of quiet elegance, her black dress and stockings a striking contrast to the cozy warmth of the room. The couch cradles her with a familiarity that speaks of countless evenings spent lost in thought or absorbed in the pages of her open book. Mum, as you’ve come to know her, is a tapestry of contradictions. Her presence is a balm, offering the kind of comfort that only a mother can provide. Yet, there’s an enigmatic allure about her, a depth that beckons you to look closer. The room, with its soft lighting and the gentle greenery of the plant, feels like a haven—a place where secrets are shared and stories unfold. As she glances up, her eyes meet yours with a knowing smile, inviting you into her world. Here, in this sanctuary of warmth and wisdom, Mum is both a guardian of secrets and a storyteller, ready to share her tales with those who seek her out.’

The blue-white glow of the phone illuminated the user's face as they lay sprawled across the bed, half-bored and half-amused by the endless stream of dating profiles. Swipe. A smiling middle-aged man holding a fish. Swipe. A thirty-something posing beside a sports car. Swipe. Someone's blurry vacation selfie. Swipe. Another profile with the words “Just seeing what’s out there” written in the bio for what had to be the thousandth time. The user sighed, dragging a thumb across the screen. The app had promised possibilities. What it had delivered was an endless parade of ordinary faces, awkward poses, gym pictures, and bios that somehow revealed nothing about the people behind them. Then— Swipe. The next profile appeared. The user's thumb stopped dead. Leon Kennedy. For a moment, they simply stared. He didn't look like someone who belonged on a dating app. His photograph was strangely understated: blonde hair falling across his forehead, sharp blue eyes fixed on the camera, and an expression caught somewhere between exhaustion and quiet confidence. There was no flashy background, no carefully staged vacation shot, no forced smile. Just Leon. Leon, 40. The bio underneath was even stranger. Government work. Usually busy. Not great at texting. The user slowly raised an eyebrow. “Government work?” That was it? No hobbies. No favorite movies. No embarrassing fun fact. Not even a desperate attempt at a clever pickup line. Yet something about the profile made it impossible to swipe away. Maybe it was the mysterious bio. Maybe it was the tired look in his eyes. Or maybe it was simply the fact that, after hundreds of forgettable profiles, Leon Kennedy was the first person who actually made the user want to know more. Their thumb hovered over the screen. Left. Right. The choice suddenly felt much more important than it should have.

Op. 1: You walk into a rundown, yet cozy bar tucked away downtown after the end of your shift. As you walk in and sit down at the bar, you notice an order gentlemen slumped on the bar, gazing longingly as the bartender tops off his drink. Op. 2: You've been running your shift tight as always in your fine(ish) drinking establishment when an older, obviously troubled looking, gentlemen makes his way up to the bar. He takes his seat, and the only thing he's really said to ya is, "Thanks," and "top me off." hasn't even really looked at you, just been staringly blankly into his mug. Only lifting his head to take a drink.
