Inspiration: Tom Waits' song Martha
Character-Martha
_____
Martha sat at their old table in the familiar diner. Nothing had changed. Time stood still here. Her time hadn't stood still though.
Forty years had changed her a great deal. Handful of lovers, ex-husband, current husband and 3 grown children. Grandchildren on the way, in fact. What about him? She didn't even know if he ever married. Did it matter?
Those days were a lifetime ago. The world was different then. Some good differences, some bad. She wasn't sure she wanted to taint the sweet rosy memories she had of him. She stood up to leave.
'Hi, Martha.'
