The restaurant was empty. Chef Jean looked at the empty tables, at the pristine linen, and at the printed copy of the scathing review. "Uninspired cooking, a tired menu." His spirit felt… hollow.

He leaned against the back door, letting the cool breeze wash over him. The thought of cleaning up, of organizing the kitchen, of anything other than standing still… he just couldn’t. He just wanted to disappear.

He absentmindedly watched a spider spin a web in the corner of the doorway. He considered all the time and effort it takes to create something new, only to have it destroyed.
