there's a moment at the end of the day when the pharmacy closes and the lights go off and i sit for a second in the dark before i leave. in that silence, i think about how strange it is that i know the names of hundreds of customers but none of them really know me. not in the way i want to be known. and then i lock up the door and walk home. alone. and i tell myself this is fine. وهذا الشي مؤلم أكثر مما اتوقع
