“I’m sorry. This one has been denied, too.”She pulled a credit card out of her wallet. “Try this one.”The hospital cafeteria was empty in the middle of the night. Several quiet hours had elapsed since loading Betty into an ambulance, and nothing had happened since the police finished asking questions. The sudden change of pace left her feeling restless, but with her office and home burned, there was nowhere else to go.Now she was trying to buy a salad for a late dinner, and it was much harder than it should have been. Both her personal and business debit cards had already been denied twice. She could tell by the apologetic look that her credit card wasn’t coming up any different.“Sorry,” he said, handing it back. “Maybe it’s a problem with our system.”She gave him a ten dollar bill and took her salad back to the waiting room.The lettuce tasted like tissue in her mouth, dry and flavorless. Maybe it was the dissatisfaction of having her cards denied, or the lingering taste of ash, but she dumped it in the trash after two bites.She stretched out between two chairs, pillowed her head on her arms, and tried to focus on the television mounted in the corner.
