Super Short Story #346: Purpose
There are three purposeful men in the public library
using the free wireless connection.
The first is a rather old and retired man,
who frowns at his tablet on the table,
sniffling and such, as he taps it once a while,
playing a chess game with an app.
Maybe he is on his way to be the next grandmaster.
The second is a middle age man between jobs,
who is researching on how to write a good business proposal,
as he keys stuff into his laptop
on the table with a stack of books for reference.
Maybe he is on his way to the next big thing
The third is a young man on his extended vacation.
who is looking for stuff to write short stories on,
as he observes the folks around him,
and keys in notes into his handphone,
Maybe he is on his way to the next bestseller.
