Beschreibung

   In the fluorescent limbo of a highway rest stop bathroom, an unseen cleaning woman endures her daily role as society’s ghost—ignored by the parade of travelers who treat her as part of the fixtures. Cloaked in invisibility, she observes the raw, unfiltered humanity of men shuffling through the space: truckers, businessmen, and vagrants alike. Her quiet resignation shatters when two boorish nouveau-riche intruders vandalize her workspace, triggering a volcanic eruption of long-suppressed rage.Amidst the confrontation, an enigmatic drifter completing a meticulous grooming ritual locks eyes with her—an unspoken recognition passes between them. His dignified presence amidst the chaos becomes a mirror to her own buried identity. The encounter unravels a revelation: a corrupt system stripped both of them of their former lives.This taut noir explores erasure and resilience through visceral, claustrophobic prose. Themes of societal invisibility, gendered labor, and the quiet reclamation of dignity converge in a single transformative moment. The story dissects the anatomy of dehumanization—and the unexpected sparks that reignite a stifled voice.

    There is something about the number 3.    
     
    The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
     
    Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
     
    Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
