Warehouse 13-C

“Let’s go. Let’s go. The cargo’s not gonna load itself.”

The admonition rang out through the warehouses.

I was still in my first week of loading duty. Typically a morning person, the midnight shift was rough for me. That’s how it was. The train came in in the middle of the night. We loaded it. It left for parts unknown.

Warehouse 13-C seemed to get the most attention. Not that I minded. It was the closest to the train, the easiest load.

“What’s up with 13-C?” I asked Decker, a warehouse veteran.

“Asian girls. They love their Asian girls.”
