[ WP ] A man who lives alone gets the paper delivered to his house everyday for years . One day , it does n't come .

Mathilda. The coffee maker started spewing out coffee. He slowly moved a dirty cup under it, letting half of the coffee drip down on the floor, creating another puddle soon to become sticky. The world started waking up. His neighbor's mailbox closed with a loud'CLANG' as he took out the paper on his way to work. He looked out of a window, right into his other neighbor's kitchen. This window was the only clean thing in his whole house full of dusty and forgotten objects. *You know what to do. Maybe today will be the day. * It was strangely quiet in his neighbor's house. Normally at exactly 7.36am *she* would turn on her coffee maker, at 7.37am she would look outside, stare at him for a split second in disgust and then turn around. That was the highpoint of his day. But now it was 7.41am and the lights ( who should have normally been switched on at 7.35am ) were still off. He did n't like deviations from his normal routine. Nothing good ever came from that. On the 7th of February 2004 at 8.09am he saw two shadows behind a closed curtain, one was her, the other one... he closed his eyes but opened them fast enough not to risk missing seeing *her*. At 11.48pm on the 6th of February 2004 he was awoken by the sound of an engine starting in front of her house. When he got to the only transparent window in his house the car was gone but he's slept with an open eye ever since. 
 But tonight he only heard the door close at 2.02am and that was nothing unusual, she went outside at night a lot. And yet he could n't see her. His nails scratched across the wall. *No, no, no, this ca n't be. * He stepped outside. Something was different. He could n't quite put his finger on it at first, but then he realized. The newspaper had n't been delivered today. This was too much. He had to sit down. *Someone took it someone's hiding something find a newspaper find one maybe she took you need to know it's your right do it do it do it. * A large sheet of paper suddenly was blown next to him. He recognized it as today's paper; his neighbor must have dropped it. He picked it up. *Announcements: *.Something caught his attention. *I must reluctantly announce that I wo n't be able to work as the chief editor of this newspaper anymore; I have to move due to personal issues. I want to say goodbye to all our readers and this wonderful community, I wish you all the best. Mathilda Shawn. *
