Blinking awake

She didn't remember how or when she got there. The light from the street lamps were harsh compaired to the darkeness of the bar. Blinking as she sepped out onto the sidewalk, a new light blinded her eyes. Through watery vision, Madelyn saw the red flashes of an ambulance. She crossed the silent street. In the distance, the gravelly rumble of the engine churned the night. A small gathering of people stood motionless in a cluster, covering the body from view. She quickened her pace. Who was it? And as the doors to the ambulance were swung shut, she began to jog with a certain urgency. Who was it? As she reached the spot where the crowd had once been, she felt a strange sense of emptiness. Collapsing on the curb, she decided she'd call her mom.
