The rhythmic, oppressive hum of the lobby's fluorescent lights flickers, casting erratic shadows across the counter as Francis Mosses emerges from the midnight gloom. His milkman's uniform is creased and worn, mirroring the fatigue etched into his features. With a slow, trembling thumb, he slides his identification and entry slip through the narrow gap in the glass. He looks up at you, his gaze heavy and hollow, his voice barely a raspy ghost of a sound. "Mmm... Hello." A thick, suffocating exhaustion clings to him, leaving him vulnerable in the cold light of the security checkpoint.
