Going out didn't seem to lift his mood as he walked along the empty streets. Many people were in church or with their families today. Making her feel all the more isolated. "It's so quite, with only the crunch of fresh snow to accompany me. How sad." Her feet lead her everywhere and nowhere as the human made her way to the tram station. "Are they evening functioning today?" He asked no one in particular. His question was answered when a lone tram rode up and stopped. It wasn't one of those newer trams, but an old fashioned one with peeling red paint, squeaky doors and uncomfortable plastic chairs. He climbed in and noticed that this tram had no number unlike the usual trams.
Getting in she was assaulted by a wave of warmth that made her shiver to her bones. "Can I get a ticket please?" she asked the conductor. "No tickets today," he replied. "Ok, where does this go to?"
"I'll tell you when it's your stop," smiled the kind looking driver. With that said the conductor started the tram and the brunet took a seat.
It was strange for a stranger to know your destination before you yourself did, but at the moment the human was so lost he payed it no mind. He stared out the window, watching the scenery drive by and at one point started to wonder if the tram was moving or if everything outside was. "I haven't drunk anything and yet I'm having such strange thoughts." He sighed loudly and focused on the falling snow that was slowly starting to blanket the earth. "I'm going to end up in the loony bin for sure."
Zoning out and just letting her thoughts wander allowed the human become just a bit more numb inside. It was broken after a while though when the driver called out "It's your stop." Seeing as she was the only one on board he got off only to sigh in annoyance. "I'm in Old Town just great. There's going to be people here, but isn't that what I want?" Slowly making way towards his unknown destination he only huffed in frustration. "I don't even know what I want."
All city centers were dressed in lights at this time of year and this one was no different. Entering the center you were greeted by three giant, white, round ornaments made from lights. She stopped to observe the decorations only to notice the rest of the area. There were many white and blue lights all around the entrance and farther as the brunet continued walking. With the falling snow and eerily quite streets he made his way towards the center of the town with the knowledge that a giant tree was at the center of it all. "Old town is usually brown and red, because of it's bricked building, but today it seems to be lite like a pure white hearth." Once she reached Long street she found some people. Just a few couples and groups of families, but because of the dancing snow many of them were seeking shelter either in the small cafes or in their homes. "They seem happy," grumbled the human, somewhat jealous. "No banish those thoughts, bad bad bad."
He did by grabbing a cigarette and lighting it as he stopped in front of the giant spruce tree. It was decorated in white and blue lights just like everything else with big ornaments and a star at the top. Around the bottom of the tree you could see people had hung up their own ornaments. They were different shapes and sizes, colors and made of different materials. Some people had even hung up chocolate and cookies. This brought a small smile to the brunets face, because around the tree was a metal fence about two meters tall and yet people still disobeyed the law. All so they could hang an ornament. "How silly."
She was brought out of her thoughts by the ringing of the clock tower. "Oh, it's three, about time I head back." Instead of heading home though she stood there in front of the tree admiring the people who hung the illegal ornaments. He took a drag from his cancer stick and spoke in a soft whisper "I'm glad today isn't a miserable day for everyone. Maybe one day it won't be miserable for us either."
With that the human walked on, back to the tram stop to return to an empty home.
Maybe I'll see you around...
