Dead of night

There's a last-man-on-earth feeling I get at 4 a.m. when I'm finishing the overnight shift and the rest of the world is sound asleep. It's very peaceful. It feels like it's me and Luis, the security guard, on our own. But I don't think Luis shares my vision. He just asks if I want the TV in the corner on. I say no, and he turns it off, mutters something that sounds vaguely like "good night" and stomps back downstairs.

I'd probably feel the same way if this was the norm for me rather than the exception.

It sounds like you and Luis share a very special relationship.
