It was a bright day as I remember correctly.

What am I saying I only appear when its a bright day. I’m a shadow. If it isn’t a bright day you won’t see me at all. Until the night that is, in the artificial light that pollutes our world in the once dark hours. I suppose it gives me life, well a few hours overtime now and then.

However, back to our bright day. The weather was dry and very hot as it usually is in the Nevada summers. The wind never bothers me ( never has never will), but the body of the fella I was following sure appreciated that slight cooling breeze that rolls down from Charleston peak and plants a soft cooling kiss upon the cheeks of those that choose to walk in the heat.

Jim is one of my regulars bods I have to follow round in the days. Jaffa an old friend of mine usually follows him on the evening shift and we exchange pleasantries and a joke at the handover most sunsets. I always think myself lucky to be on the day shift but for some reason Jaffa loves the night shift ( always has and always will).

Jim’s a bit of a wanderer as we say in the business, so he’s a good day shift. Always moving around, easily getting my steps in for the day. Problem is he is on the go all day and seems to even speed up once the sun goes down. Making him a terribly more tiring night shift, something I’m glad I don’t have to deal with.

I’m kept busy throughout the day by all means, but with the usual day to day tasks and sights that are seen in the innocence of daylight.

I had to drop nights a while back now, due to family commitments and like I say I didn’t enjoy them too much. I mean I’m not a prude, or an angel by any stretch of the imagination, but what goes on at night. I just wasn’t getting paid enough to see that. There is too much seedy activity people get up to in the darkness, when they think no one can see. Things that people wouldn’t dare to do in the bare light of day. I don’t think most of the people would act the way they do if they knew us shadows were there watching, silently, everything.
