O'Connell Bridge - Pt. 12
“Well, Betty Jo said she’s getting a one bedroom in Leland in the fall, and like I don’t have a roommate yet; but she’s going to sublet my room here to her cousin this summer. I said that was okay even though it’s my name on the lease. it’s not really a sublet, her cousin is just visiting and paying her a share of the rent to stay. I told her I was going to Boston anyway, and wouldn’t be back till late August.” Caitlin complained to LC while he was going up the stairs. “If my aunt finds out I only have terminal papers for classes in the fall and don’t really have to be here, I might not be living in the apartment at all, just stuck in Boston doing her bidding.”

“I guess I need two weeks off starting June 25.” LC sat in the Human Resources office at New Hanover Medical Center. “I’ve been sending apps for grad school but haven’t had an acceptance yet. So, I suppose when I come back from my trip, I will be available to reassume my duties at the ER—North.”

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.

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.

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.”

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.”
