The second drabble based on "Savage Sunday"
Nobody(dedicated to my cousin John)
Jerry Miller took the weekend custodian's job at City Hall to get the medical benefits, to cover his wife's final illness. During the week he's self-employed, and works from home.
"We planned it for Sunday, when no one would be there to get hurt," he reads in the newspaper on Monday.
No one?
He thinks about Artie, the weekend security guard, and Councilwoman Klein, who sometimes works Sundays. He thinks about where they all would have been when that bomb went off. He carefully folds the paper and throws it away.
Then he goes and gives his daughter a hug.
