Two Removals, Gary Furnell , single work short story

'I got the trolley out of the van while Rhonda, at the nursing home's front door entry console, buzzed the night staff. In the daytime we'd go to a side door, but it was after 11pm and the elderly were unlikely to be around.

'Rhonda leaned close to the speaker. "Hi, funeral home staff here to remove a resident."

'A young Filipina woman--more like a girl-- met us at the door. I looked at her badge: Maria, Registered Nurse. I pushed the trolley as we followed her through the quiet corridors. The ancient citizenry were tucked safely in bed. The occasional room had a television on; I could hear the murmur behind the closed doors.' (Introduction)
