Nothing
"'It's nothing,' he says, not for the first time.
She watches him straighten his tie in the hall mirror.
So he doesn't have to make eye contact,
she thinks.
'I fear nothing?' she says. 'Then I must be fearless. I don't feel fearless.'"
A woman sits alone, waiting for the end of the world.
Nothing
is short and dark. An effective mood piece which uses words playfully to create horror.
