A rainy morning
Fiction · Pilot storyboard. Mara reached the bus stop just as the red tail lights disappeared around the corner. Rain slipped from the edge of her umbrella onto one shoe. She sighed and moved along the bench to make room for someone else.
An older neighbour stood nearby holding a paper bag. The bottom was beginning to soften. Mara offered the dry corner under her umbrella. “Your bag might need this more than I do,” she said.
A little room
The neighbour laughed and shifted closer. Inside the bag was a loaf of bread for a friend who had asked for company over breakfast. They talked about the bakery window, then about nothing in particular.
When the next bus came, Mara helped hold the bag while the neighbour found a ticket. Nobody gave a speech. Nobody called it a life-changing moment. It was simply a little less rain, shared between two people.
