Night Desk

You are the new night clerk of a small hotel.

People come to the desk after midnight: a tenant who lost his key again, a couple who should not be together, a kid with cash and no ID, a cop wet from the rain. And a woman in grey who does not want a room. She wants you to keep an envelope until tomorrow. Two hundred, now, for the favour. If anyone asks, she was never here.

Every night you answer with two or three lines. Every answer is remembered. The register counts your money; the manager counts your trouble.

There is no room twelve.
