Beca frowns as she drives, her fingers fiddling with the dial on the radio. Top country hits. Pop country. Throwback country. For one second she thinks she hears the deep bass of hip-hop, but then it’s overcome by static.
Begrudgingly, she settles back on some DJ boasting Today’s Hottest Country and slumps in her seat.
Her skin, her clothes, the dirty tiled floor. It’s not subjective; it’s just facts. Scientific, she read once. They can’t reflect certain colors as brightly.
Sitting in this laundromat at 1AM and it’s not the time that’s making her tired or the dehydration from lack of water all night that’s making her dizzy. It’s not the staring at the time tick down on the machines – exhaustingly, excruciatingly, impossibly slowly – that’s giving her this headache.
No, it’s these damn fluorescents. Fluorescents make everything look like shit.
Well everything, Beca thinks as the door swings open to welcome a newcomer, everything but her.
