Chapter 1 Just another day:
Nelson gets home from a very long drive. He is what is
called a Human Remains Removal Specialist. What he does is, when a family loses
a loved one they call a funeral home, and if Nelson is contracted to that
funeral home, he gets the call to go and pick up the deceased, and deliver it
to the funeral home. Well the call he just got home from was one that started
in Arizona, and had to be delivered to a cemetery in Pomona California. He is
unable to take a break and get a night in a hotel, because he is the owner of
the business, and the only removal guy available to the funeral homes he is
contracted to.
Nelson walks into the house and his kids are screaming running
around and having a great time. Rudy is an extremely energetic boy to say the
least. His twin sister Bella is as cute as a button and she is about 2 feet
shorter than her twin brother. Rudy is the spitting image of his father and
Bella is an exact replica of her mother. Debbie their mother, is in the kitchen
cooking dinner for the kids and she seems to be under a great deal of stress, this
is a normal thing when raising children, and she asked Nelson to finish the
dinner.
Well nelson has been awake for about 23 hours, and is extremely tired
and wants to just go to bed, but to avoid an argument he does as she asks and
sets the kids up with their dinner and he then takes a shower, and goes right
to bed.
After sleeping for about 3 hours he gets a call to pick up
a body at one of the local hospitals and because its after hours at the funeral
homes he is contracted to, he just goes back to sleep for a few more hours. When
he finally wakes up, it’s about 12 am. After taking the morning wiz he walks
into his office and does what he does every day, checks his Facebook to see what’s
going on. Its same old shit a post about puppy’s, cute videos about what ever,
videos about corrupt cops, blacks hating whites, you know the normal propaganda
that the elite puts out there to stir things up.
Feeling a bit hungry Nelson
walks into the kitchen to eat some leftovers from the dinner that the kids had
earlier, well; it did not get put away, so; he just makes a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich and pours a glass of soda and heads back into the office.
Remembering that he has a body to pick up at the hospital, he goes ahead and
gets dressed then sits back down to scroll a bit more on the news feed. At this
point he sees a post that was apparently recorded in Boston showing a total
riot scenario. He says to himself well; it’s only a matter of time now.
He gets
his keys puts on his leather hat he has had for over thirty years, and heads
out to get the body. As he is driving to the hospital he drives by a car that
has been stopped by the police and does a double take to see what’s going on. Well,
it appears to be just normal shit, most likely a speeder being ticketed by the
police. “These guys are nothing more than revenue enforcers; extorting money
from the people. Man I’m so sick of this fucking corruption”
He gets to the hospital and calls the security office and
lets them know he is down by the morgue waiting. As he sits there, he thinks
about the video he seen about Boston. Man; what if that shit comes here? About
20 minutes goes by and still no security officer. He calls the dispatch office
back and asks what the holdup is, and she says “can you please hold” what the
hell! He says out loud. So he jumps on the cot and takes a seat because it
looks like it might be a while.
They usually take a while if an Evac chopper
comes in, because they have to escort them to the emergency room. So he just
hangs up the phone and calls back. When the dispatcher answers this time she
says, “it may be a while there is a major emergency in the ER.” Ok? He says to
her. After waiting another 20 minutes he decides to walk over to the emergency
room to see what the hell is going on. Well talk about mass chaos; there were
about 6 ambulances there and the ER was full of people with gunshot wounds and
a plethora of other injuries.
At this point he runs back to his van and turns
on the radio to see if there is any news on what’s going on. Well there is; in
fact every station has a repeat message playing over and over again. All of the
phoenix metro area is currently under curfew status and everyone needs to stay
indoors. Holy shit! He says to himself. I better get home so I don’t get my ass
shot.
