Bench

He was sitting on the bench, next to the bus stop, remembering.

He had often thought of returning to this spot. Today, he did it. He just sat for a while thinking about his schooldays, almost fifty years ago. Behind him, a small park that he would play in, if he was there early. It was still there. Across the street, the small sweet shop where he bought a bag of broken honeycomb pieces, again, only if he had time. He would catch the bus to school from here. Then later, the same bench, the same bus stop, to a university in a neighbouring town. He had been prepared to study hard for what he wanted his future to be; for what he wanted himself to become. He knew his parents had been struggling from time to time back then, but they had always been there to support him. Then, the years of building up his finance company and the role it played giving advice to those who needed it.

His eye was caught by the man dressed in black with a flat cap climbing out of the big black car parked further back across the street. He had asked for a short time of peace and quiet. He sighed, knowing that this was about to end.

The man approached, carrying a phone, shaking his head.

“Beg pardon sir, didn’t want to disturb you; it’s the Prime Minister for you, sir.”
