O'Connell Bridge - Pt. 8
Low level activities and boredom are common for night workers. Sleep patterns are askew and normal social life is often abridged. On his day off, LC found his way to BoJangles for lunch after his usual morning nap. Working at the ER was so mentally exhausting that he often went to his apartment and crashed for a couple of hours. “I need a sweet tea fix,” he told the cashier when he paid for his chicken biscuit and sweet tea.

O'Connell Bridge - Pt. 5
LC thought about checking on Caitlin before he climbed the stairs to his apartment, but with exhaustion quickly overtaking his body, he forced himself up the stairs and to his room. The apartment was quiet and empty. “Good, Mac’s not back.” LC put on his noise suppression headphones and collapsed on his bed.

O'Connell Bridge - Pt. 4
LC sat in his truck the next morning. The church bulletin still open to the page he encountered. “What’s Next?” His visit to Ogden Waffle House was equally frustrating. As he pulled up he cringed; a large red and white sign was taped to the front door. “Closed due to electrical fire.”

O'Connell Bridge - Pt. 3
LC walked in and saw Arthur and Big Mac lounged on the couch playing a video game. “Hey.” Mac looked over his shoulder, “Hey. There’s pizza on the bar. Some dude ordered pickup but never showed. Boss even tried to call the guy. Finally, we were ready to throw it out and I said, hey, I’ll share with my roomies cause—ya-know we ain’t got much money.” He said, 'cool,' so we get free pizza. It’s anchovies.”

The Bridge
Every Sunday morning, we met between The Five Lamps in the middle of O’Connell Bridge. It seemed like an apt place to meet before making our way to church. Actually, it was a bit more for me to cross River Liffey than for her, but nonetheless, it was our habit, and we made a game of guessing which side of the street the other would appear on. From our meeting, we would laugh our way to St. Michan’s Church. I so enjoyed those mornings of sitting with her in the 900-year-old chapel. It wasn’t far, then, to walk toward Keatings, a quaint café.

Stalker
I have a stalker. He is not invited but still shows up. He knows where I am, even when I do not. He is persistent in trying to speak to me, though I deny him my voice. He raises his hand to me, even when I fight back. He plans me into his future, even though we do not have one. He is crazy and acts as if this is all normal. I am crazy. I block him and we fight, and I beg him to leave me alone, but he still finds his way into my bed. I say "no" often, he hears "yes." He wants me though I have told him I do not feel the same. I am mean, I yell and slap him away from me, but he still returns. He is jealous of every face on my Instagram. He leaves flowers at my door. He leaves gifts on my car. He brings me food on days my kids are not home because he knows I will not cook for myself. He pays my check at restaurants I have lunch at before I can request the bill. How is he even there?
