Some Bright Morning

Description

"I feel like a warm mop bucket and dingy tiles that’ll never come clean.
I feel like these freezers cannot be re-stocked often enough.
I feel like trash cans of candy wrappers with soda pop dripping down the wrong side of the plastic."

- Convenience Stores, Buddy Wakefield.

Zach and Emily, one bright morning in Las Vegas, coming down on the wrong side of sleeplessness and one too many midnights, eating oranges with cinnamon and wishing things were otherwise.

Otherwise like Emily actually being there, and not just as a ghost in Zach's insomniac mind. He needs someone to talk to.

(Not sure I'm satisfied with all of this - the cast shadows by the stuff on the table, for example, and the fact that this was supposed to be in colour, not greyscale - but if I'd tinkered any longer with it, it feels like I would have ruined it. Or gone crazy).
