The Bridge

 

They loved the restaurant because it was cozy, the staff was friendly, the food was exquisite. It was walking distance from home, so they treated themselves to a weekly treat- a block to the bridge, with the restaurant right on the other side.

The bridge was always there, but never the same. Sometimes a suspension bridge, or a covered bridge, once it was a railway trestle.

Under the bridge, too, was unpredictable, sometimes rivers or highways. The day it was a rope bridge with alligators snapping in a moat below was memorable.

They liked how it kept their routine fresh.
