Fuck.
I just took a body to the morgue.
I held a man’s hand as he passed, alone, from this world to the next.
I wanted to be a National Geographic photojournalist, traveling the world, taking pictures of strange monkeys or whatever.
Instead, I became a nurse. 20 years ago.
I am an experienced critical care nurse. I have seen more people die than I care to count. I can see death coming, long before the grim reaper has gotten out of bed in the morning. That fucking bastard.
I stood at the bedside of a young man tonight. Watching the signs. Knowing what was coming. Knowing that we had done everything we could do. Knowing that all of the life support we were giving wouldn’t be enough. Knowing that he would be dead before my shift was over. Hell, before my lunch break.
Before his body is even cold in the morgue, I’m preparing to take a goddamn drunk from the emergency room. Who gave plasma today. To earn enough money to buy some booze. Who drank a 40. And passed out on the toilet taking a shit.
What a fantastic fucking night.

This is one of the first neon signs that I saw when we entered the Neon Museum’s Neon Sign Boneyard.
