Great writing as always. I know those beeps and plastic covered chairs. Well evoked.

If you’re ever in doubt - look at the subtitle line. I will mention in the subtitle line if it’s a story or creative nonfiction. I want you to know how to approach it! This short story is fiction,, though it combines different things I’ve experienced. Is the narrator here telling you things they’ve seen, or things they imagined? You can look at it either way. I appreciate all your supportive comments 🙂
