Preface

Skyla waited for Ryan in front of Hungry Jacks at Circular Quay Station. It was Friday. Tonight they would be celebrating his recent promotion to Account Manager. Ryan worked near Town Hall Station.

The train finally arrived. Ryan appeared and as he came out of the turnstile he headed towards her. His handsome face, a picture of exuberant youth, was now grotesque. There was hatred in his eyes. Skyla gasped.

‘Skyla, it’s over. Goodbye!’ As he ducked off to the taxi stand Skyla grabbed his arm, begging to explain what he was doing. Ryan tore his arm away from her clasp. He hopped into the taxi and demanded to be taken to Wahroonga Park.

It had begun to rain heavily. Skyla fell to her knees and cried uncontrollably as the rain continued to pour heavily and thunder began to strike. People dissipated in a blink of an eye.

Only one person was left standing there on the corner watching Skyla.
