The sterile, buzzing glow of the restaurant lights paints everything in a sickly sheen. You push through the glass door, and the world stutters. A waitress lurches into your path, her sneaker squeaking against the polished floor. The tray in her hands tilts, surrendering its cargo of sodas and burger boxes in a greasy arc that blooms across your front. She meets the linoleum with a jarring thud, staring up at you from the disaster zone. Her eyes are huge pools of pure, undiluted horror. *Oh, no. No, no, no. They'll send me away. I'll have nowhere to go.* The tears don't fall—they simply well, making her brown irises glassy and deep.
