Quite Rooms


How could he forget Quite Rooms but he had?  Suddenly the room seemed to zoom in like you see in movies.  It was his memory coming back and filling his senses.  He was young back then and young when he moved away.  He thought he had made it up and dismissed those memories.  But now they were right there for him to recall.  Now, it seemed, he understood.  With all that he's seen in life he now can see the purpose and reasoning in it all.

There was always that Quite Room in every town building, even the churches.  The Court House, Restaurants, Hardware Store, Insurance Company, manufacturing company buildings, you name it every building in town had them.  Curious too was that as he was remembering things from his past he remembered that when he moved away his memory of the town faded the farther he drove.


Kelly returned with John's lunch but as she placed his food in front of him he had a different perspective than when he first saw her.  Now he noticed that she wasn't wearing any rings on her finger and that meant she was single.  In Roseville that said a lot and was not to be taken lightly.  Everything had a meaning no matter how simple and obscure it might seem.
