I woke when it was time

to make the donuts and

Jeremy, second service member, migrated

two stores over To unlock

the doors with me.

Buckets of water filled with

bagels stew on the chilled floor. Heating

won’t be on for an hour more. First service stint

Jeremy jacked into vanilla cream.

Cameras caught the

casualty. Knees knocked

idly and wondered if maybe

Jeremy was innocent or if

someone jacks in the glaze but

no one is there to see it, did it

really happen or if, really,

our boss was the real issue, because

who watches their CCTV in bed at 4:30 am.
