First day on the job and I'm up to my eyeballs in dead people.
Easy job, Danny says. Quiet, most nights. Play cards a lot. Look at magazines. The coroner and forensics people take care of all the ugly stuff. All I have to do is clean the stiffs, help make them look good, dress them up in their "funereal attire." Right. We're running out of drawers to put them in. Twenty corpses in seven hours. We aren't exactly the New York City morgue. This is New Oakland. We're small time. Finally we just start laying them out on the floor. "Freaky," Danny says, looking at the four males we've stretched out on the linoleum. "Yeah," I answer. And it is. Because every one of these poor dead suckers has the same expression glued to his face. "I'd swear they were scared to death," Danny says.
