Sleep No More
“Going through the door, moving from bright sunlight to wholly artificial fluorescent, from the heat of the sun to the cool interior, intensified the sense of vertigo that had been growing over the past hour. She had to pause with her hand on the door handle and wait for the spinning to stop.
Once she could move forward in a straight line, she did so, taking in the lobby area. It wasn't at all what she'd expected, given their mostly rural county.
Instead of stepping into Andy's office in... TV's Mayberry, she walked into a room with a dozen battered vinyl chairs, some mended with color-matched vinyl tape. Instead of a wide counter or a reception desk manned by a kind-faced grandmother dressed in a seasonal-themed sweater, there was a four-by-four Plexiglas window on her right. It had an intercom mounted on the wall next to it and a slide tray like you'd see at a bank's drive-up window. Behind that was a man in a deputy sheriff's uniform.
A sign indicated the jail was through a door on the left side of the lobby.MoreLess
