Nightlife
A Stories from the Shadows Short Story
by Gwendolyn Jensen-Woodard
The call was late, or early, depending on the point of view. The east was beginning to change from the deepest blue of midnight to the dark aqua of the ocean at night. The city was beginning slowly to come alive, for those who lived in the sun. Lights blinked on in buildings, and cars raced by. The sound of the wind on I-5, mere feet from the alley where the victim lay, moaned lamentations for a man who will never see another sunrise.
Lieutenant Lilah Evans stood carefully, taking a half-step back from the corpse. Her assessment was done, and almost not worth her time. Almost. Detective Allen Davies, also assigned to the case, was waiting somewhat impatiently for Lilah to give her report.
“Dazzle me, Lieutenant Lilah.”
She hated it when people did that, used her first name instead of her last. She’d earned her title the hard way, like most of the department. It was a matter of respect. Detective Davies, like anyone else who did it, was trying to make it an insult.
