Quiet Departure
The crowd at the gas station gradually dispersed, leaving behind only hushed whispers, like the fading echoes of a movie’s climax. People drifted away in small groups, their quiet conversations carried by the breeze as they reflected on the scene they had witnessed. McClain’s quiet triumph had shifted the course of their afternoon, leaving an impression that would linger long after they were gone.
