"Deirdre" - insta-yarn

She knew what they were keeping out, but she wondered what was kept in, Deirdre thought to herself walking to her nurse's shift in the ER. Back home in Ireland, you took the darknesses for granted - like peat digs in the soil. Here, they surprised against the sunny backdrop of sandy beaches and strong bodies. On her Friday-night-their-Saturday-morning Skype calls to her best friend in Dublin, she kept saying it's actually a lot like "Home and Away". At work, she kept triaging girls younger than her - with short skirts, black eyes, meth habits and photos of toddlers in Knights jumpers on their mobile phones.
