The Night Shift
As Anne was polishing the stainless steel counter, she glanced upward at the clock just above the door. She watched the seconds tick by as a strand of her black hair slipped from behind her ear and landed on her face. She swiped it back and let out a long sigh. It had just then struck 2:15 a.m. Her shift started almost 4 hours ago. She had wiped down every red table top, cleaned every inch of the navy blue vinyl seating in the diner, and had straightened all but one picture frame on the walls . Even the brick red tile of the dining room had a sheen on them she hadn’t seen in some time. Gingerly she walked across the tile floor and straightened the last of Ken’s memorabilia from is Navy days. Normally, this would make her happy, but she still had another 4 hours left and the last customer left just before midnight. Ken was in the back doing some of the dishes whistling some Irish drinking tune. This was not an uncommon occurrence since it had been his usual means of helping the time pass quicker as long as Anne could remember. With no customers to serve and having been fully satisfied now that she could see her pale reflection in the counter, she decided to go and check on him. She had worked for him for the past 3 years and come to love some of the old folk songs.
