After Hours (2014)
“Actually, to her surprise, she liked Owen. He was a kind, steady, man who took Curtis’ abuse with ease. She was about to ask him about his holiday plans when Owen said, “Hey, isn’t that your umbrella?”
She looked and saw it blowing past. Had Curtis just thrown it away when he got into his car? Was he really that careless? “Help me grab it,” she said. She made a move to run after it when she caught something shiny in the corner of her eye. She turned and saw a watch catching the light of a stree...tlamp. She moved closer, surprised that a watch would be left on the ground, then stark and vivid fear gripped her when she recognized the watch and the person it belonged to.
She raced over to the lifeless figure lying on the ground, but felt as if she were moving in slow motion. She didn't seem to be getting any closer to him. She kept expecting Curtis to get up and swear or hold up his head, but he didn’t move. He didn’t moan or groan. He didn’t make a sound. He just lay still.MoreLess
