The Night Shift
In 2022, I worked at a remote call center outside Amarillo, Texas. It was a 24/7 operation that mostly handled late-night emergency customer service for a few medical and security companies.

The Night Someone Knocked Softly on My Bedroom Door
It was just after 2:17 a.m. I remember because I had looked at the clock, annoyed that I was still awake. I was lying on my side, eyes barely open, scrolling aimlessly through my phone in the dark — that restless kind of night where your thoughts won't let you sleep.
