Around The Bend
Around The Bend By Ashley Michael Day I Jimmy McManus was hiding in plain sight. He smirked at how cunning his disguise was. After all, who really notices the man dressed in a High-Vis waistcoat? Everyone sees the luminous greens and yellows, but never the person wearing them. It was the perfect diversion. Like the criminal who disguises himself in a false beard; glasses; scar; or tattoo.

12 Hours
They tell you when you start to prepare yourself to work for twelve hours. Most of us had come from jobs where we worked eight hours a day, nine to five, from Monday to Friday. I had been an office drone when I found this job in the paper, and it had been an easy choice to switch to a job that would nearly double my take-home pay. I had accrued my share of debt in college, and my student loans were high enough to keep me under the company's thumb until I retired.
