Cindy's Job At The Birch Street Nursing Home


Today at the Birch Street Nursing Home there was a new task on my to-do list. I had to organize the drawers of the front desk. Under the half-eaten sandwiches and dried-up pens, I found the patient roster, and was surprised to see Mrs. Chang's name still on it. I crossed her off the list and wrote in the name of her room's new occupant, Mrs. Diaz. On the way home I stopped off at Mrs. Chang's grave and cleared away the trash that had piled up there. I used some of the ten dollars the head nurse had left me to buy a candle from the cemetery vending machine, and placed it on top of Mrs. Chang's head stone.
