Chess Clock in Montreal

by Yvonne Bernard

A wet, reflective sidewalk in Montreal’s Plateau district catches the neon spill from a nearby café window, illuminating a discarded chess clock resting against a brick wall. The digital display glows red, frozen at a mid-game time, while ivy vines climb the damp masonry above, their leaves dark and slick with rain. A half-empty mug sits on a small outdoor table nearby, steam long gone, next to a rusted hinge on a closed metal shutter. The scene is quiet, devoid of people, yet charged with the lingering presence of a game interrupted by the cold night. The mixed city light casts long, distorted shadows, blending the urban grit with the intimate, abandoned objects.
