He mutters

making a cloud of
chilly breath.

I stare at our only source of light.

Our only light

at the same time.

Right now, we don't want to be seen.

We're getting tired.

"Sure. Don't want to clean anymore."

He laughs.

I smile.

"Well, it's late. We gotta move."

He pulls the sack towards our pickup.

I follow.

The heavy weight of the our shared backpack leans ever so deep on me.

Reaching the vehicle, we gave out relief.

The night's chilly,
chilly like
always.

"We definitely getting a promotion."

He smiles at the three sacks we took.

"Hard work pays off, right?"

He turns to me.

I giggle softly.

"Yeah."

I placed the backpack on the passenger's seat.

I'm riding shotgun.

"Pat 'em first darling."

I glanced at the three sacks on the backseat.

"For luck. For luck."

[For luck, the contes-"]

I pat the bags.

We're tired

but the sacks

never stopped
