Loli gazed out of the diner window in a daze not noticing the torrential down pour outside.  The waitress came and sat a bacon egg and cheese sandwich, hot off the griddle, right in front of her. Loli didn't notice.
The door opened and a young woman, barely seventeen walked in the diner with a crying baby girl in her arms. The seventeen year old loudly asked the waitress a high-chair over her crying child. Then sat down in the comfy red booth directly behind Loli. The high-chair came and the young woman ordered a basket of fries for herself and a side of macaroni and cheese for her daughter.
Loli, still in a daze, took a bite out of her sandwich.
The waitress headed toward the young woman and her child with their food and hand and sat it down in front of them. The crying baby grabbed a spoon and dug in. The diner was silent.
Loli shook out of her daze, hearing the laughter of a child behind her. She turned around to see a baby girl attempting to put an empty bowl on as a hat. Loli laughed turning the baby's mother.
"You've the most beautiful daughter," she said.

Loli woke to the sound of a cawing bird outside of her window. She staggered out of bed over to the window to peak outside through the blinds. There was a elderly woman talking a stroll outside of the building, hovering above her was a black crow.

Now that Loli was awake she decided that more would come of her getting out of bed, than going back into it. She began with taking a shower.

When she was finished she realized she had nothing else to do, her stomach disagreed with a grumble. It was time to eat. She looked through her cabinets at the food she'd brought in the previous night, none of it appealed to her at the moment. Plus she'd like to think that she was saving it all for a special occasion.

She decided that she'd rather go out then be stuck inside for the rest of the day. So she dressed herself for a trip outside, a short walk to the 28-hour Diner.
