JUSTICE IN THE FIRST
"The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that is the way to bet." Damon Runyon Clair Evans looked at herself in the mirror critically as she finished putting on what little makeup she used for her meet-the-world regime. Her world had sucked big time the last year with the loss of her job managing a local coffee shop, THE BEAN & CREAM in Freehold, NJ due to Covid compounded by her fiance walking out creating a crisis with paying the rent. Her doctor brother at least helped and kept her from being evicted from her fifth-floor apartment and her dwindling savings took care of utilities and groceries. She had an interview at 10:00am for an office management job at Stanford and Myers Legal Service and fervently hoped it would work out as she brushed on a little blush. Finished, she stared at her reflection one last time and gave her short pixie hair cut a quick spray so nothing went wild in the humid spring weather.
