#772 At The Terminal- Bryn Chancellor

This is the tale of a breakup that we see small remains of from one-side at the end. Francie is a 34 year-old loner that was pushed into an online romance by her more successful sister. On line dating is:

“Like Jane Austen on speed…like Simone De Beauvoir to Sartre, but not.”

Getting dumped from that romance, Francie is waiting in the early morning rain outside a airport waiting for her flight, trying not to smoke. She tries to bum a cigarette from a man in a wheel chair and gets rebuffed. She takes the cold refusal as another rejection and tries her hardest to get just a touch of kindness out of the man, to prove that all humanity is not lost.

“A little compassion. A little interest in a fellow human being.”

Notable Passage: “Bad first date, bad sex, bad hangover—the trifecta.”
