Blog #2 - the Quarry

    I was suddenly awoken by the ringing of the doorbell. I jolted to my feet and half yelled, half mumbled, "Welcome to Mary Janes!" "Oh haha sorry to wake you up man, it's 1:30, if I was working I would be asleep too," a 6 foot tall man with skin the color of rich chocolate, and eyes a sea-foam emerald calmly replied. I was very startled as it was not my style to fall asleep at work, even during the odd hours, It must be Because something is happening of late... something about some dead old guy in the parking lot.
    "So i'm gonna be honest with you, i'm not here to buy any candy," the stranger continued, "My name's Mark, I was walking by earlier and one of my friends thought you were pretty cute, I was wondering if you wanted to come break in to the quarry with us after you get off?" I immediately recognized him as one of the group that walked by as the sun set. "Well i'm not really into dating, but I guess i'm not doing anything else so why not." I replied.  I quickly closed the store and before setting the alarm, I looked down at my calloused hands, hands that looked like a brown leather sofa that had been sat on too much. I thought, "When was the last time i've gone out?"
     I stepped out to see a beat up El Camino with music blaring inside, Mark beckoned me in. There were 5 people inside the car besides myself-it was quite a squeeze. I had barely been told everyone's name when the driver, Leo floored the accelerator sending us on our way. On the drive everyone introduced themselves: Leo who was a loud aspiring poet, Ava-likely the girl who thought I was cute based on the way she batted her eyes at me, Mark who I already met, and Jerry who was the class clown of the group. They were playing a CD of Conrad, the singer who was supposed to be performing later in the week. I knew we arrived at the quarry when i nearly smashed my face into the seat in front of me while we screeched to a stop. I got out to a 10 foot tall fence and turned around to see Jerry brandishing a large pair of hedge shears. What the hell did i get myself into...

Blog #8: The Search

After that fateful morning, I dived in to my search headfirst. As it turned out, Breaux is a pretty common name in the New Orleans area. I spoke to dozens of people but none of them knew anyone named Jenna or Ryan Breaux. The government reports of bodies that are too decayed to be identified struck fear into my heart, and made me even more persistent in my search. Mark supported me the whole way through, even covering for me when I got caught researching Katrina at work. Every lead  came up dead, like the Jenna Breaux who I read moved out to the British Virgin Islands after Katrina to start her own kite business, who turned out to be some businessman trying to avoid taxes. But at least he paid me $500 to keep it quiet. As a surprise snowstorm closed the bar for the night, I began to lose hope. I had spent dozens of hours searching and had nothing to show for it. Mark and I took a walk around the snow-covered town and the mood was just as sullen and foreboding as it had be...

Blog #7: The Sunrise

The events of that morning sent me into cold sweats, and Mark took off work for the next week to take care of me. I was bedridden for 4 days with a high fever of 102 degrees. Mark stayed on my couch, made me soup, and told me that everything would be ok.  When I finally felt good enough to get up, I walked out to a window to witness one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen. I sat in the window and felt the light and shadows dance across my face for an hour before Mark approached me. "Look at you up early, How do you feel?" Mark asked. "Mark I have to find them. I have to find out what happened to my family," I resolved. "Whatever you think is right," Mark assured, "I am here to support you. But I have to ask, What happened with Ava at that party?" "I don't even know myself," I responded " The closer she got, a horrible feeling rose in my stomach. Something just wasn't right." "If it's not too i...

Blog #1 - Night Shift

    The day started with me rolling around in my Murphy bed. I often found it hard to sleep through the hustle of morning rush hour, but this morning was different. I don't know if it was the storm, or the air of mourning that seemed to penetrate through everyone nearby but there was a strange quiet that kept me staring at the roof of my 600 square foot flat longer than normal. The blaring of my alarm clock jolted me back to reality. 3:00 PM, an unusual time for most, but one that I had become accustomed to in the past 4 months.     I roused myself, folded up my bed, looked into my wardrobe and picked out a worn grey hoodie, faded black jeans, and beaten Vans Old Skools. There was a time when I took pride in my fashion, but ever since the hurricane I have been too busy to worry about such trivial affairs. By 3:45 I had dressed and prepared for the inevitably long day -or night- and opened up my creaky door. I looked back at the pictures of my family, my mother and s...
