Who: Graham Shephard (closed)
When: 4ish in the morning
Where: His suite
Now this was a story. How many journalists got to go through a storm like that at sea? Really, the odds were incredible if you sat down and actually tried to figure them out. He’d managed to hang on to his chair and keep from hitting any walls. Other than a nasty bruise on his hip and shin, he was in decent shape, all considered. Although, come morning, or later in the morning as the case may be, his arms and shoulders were sure to make themselves known in a spectacularly uncomfortable way.
Of course he’d helped. Story or not, people came first. He wasn’t much of a lifter, but he shifted and hefted where he could, dug some people out, checked the injured over and all such tasks. They were salves to the less injured’s conscious. Knowing they ‘did something’ for those less fortunate. Like giving to charity in a way. ‘Oh yes, I have a few scrapes and managed to weather that storm but hey, I helped dig people out of the one concert, broken limbs and concussions everywhere. Look at this splinter I got pulling a table from one bloke.’
After people were sorted he’d toured the less injured and sat down with people, getting their stories, making sense of the chaos and figuring out the sequence of events in each of the concerts and gatherings. Hell of a story. Oh, he’d sit down and polish it up in the morning. Get everything on the computer. Hopefully the net would be back up and running and he could even rush it off to the Post for print.
He didn’t think he’d be able to sleep. No, too excited, too buzzed, too, something. So it was that after nominally straightening a part of his suite, the bed and desk area, he got himself showered and in his trust PJs, but didn’t bother getting into the bed. He decided to forgo the whole waiting for sunlight thing and immediately set to work on his notebook, typing up the various stories and then cleaning them up.
Oh yes, a hell of a story.
