The Window

Allan Onik

    In the dark room, Tab looked out the window. Snow was falling, and he saw a child building a snowman. Soon the snow was gone, and he saw a teen at a bonfire with friends. When the fire went out he saw a man getting married on lush, green grass—later his children playing football under a setting sun behind a house. As he continued to look out the window he saw the man now very old, lying on some peat. The old man was dying, and soon the snow came back with no one to enjoy it.
    Tab turned to a corner of the room and saw a glowing demon eating a cockroach. “Simple karma,” it said.
    Tab turned to another corner and saw a floating angel emanating light. Tab was enveloped in the light—warm, bright, calming. He thought back to the snowman. “Love?” Tab asked.
    “Inside you all along,” the angel said.
