The Empty Tavern

Life has come to a stop in the village. It’s evening and no one knows what to do. They would normally go to the village tavern, have a few mugs of ale and share some gossip. This is how life has always been here. But today, when the first customers arrived, they found the doors and windows all boarded up. There is no sign of the landlord either. His house is empty and no one has seen him or his family after last night.

Some hovered around the deserted tavern for some time, hoping the landlord would come and explain everything. He never came though. They all went home at last, feeling the coldness of the night for the first time.
