    The street lights were still on at precisely four o’clock when Josephine Beaulieu opened the shiny chrome doors of her diner with a whoosh, switched on one row of schoolhouse lights, then another, and placed a clean glass carafe on the coffee maker. High heels clicking, she moved to the kitchen, flipped a row of switches on the fryers, setting their red lights aglow, then disappeared into the refrigerator. She returned to the lunch counter balancing three golden pies. She settled them gently inside their glass case as the coffee machine burbled cheerfully in the background.

Clawing back the covers, Janice eyed her roommate Lauren sitting at a writing desk near the window. Janice had never worn sequins or jumpsuits before, but she felt a little stiffened by the gold-colored one-piece that adorned her body at the moment. She had dreamed of Taylor Swift, again. “Have a good sleep?” said Lauren.“Yeah! But can you believe what I’m wearing, Lauren?”“Yeah!
