He left his bus ticket in his jeans one day and forgot entirely when they went into the wash.

I was checking my phone, bored as always in my office job. Loading up one of the various dating apps I had installed and browsed through the typical photos. Yeah, no you’re not a bridge, probably not you, meh not really. One caught my eye. A lad in hi-viz, who looked cute enough and said he was a brickie. Even better was the fact he was nearby. He seemed to reply quite quickly, and seemed quite interesting.

Orange Workie :) You wake up in the room. There’s nothing else around apart from darkness. You can see yourself. You’re dressed in rubber hi-viz and nothing else. You start to feel, there’s no other clothing but the hi-viz. Then you start to think. Thinking taking a process. You had a name? Maybe. You couldn’t find it. All you remember is rubber and pleasing sir. Sir? That sounds right doesn’t it.

He walked around, lost in the new city, trying to find his way. It was a big city, full of strange things and things you’d never pick up on. One of these was to never walk into the middle of a construction site without knowing what you were doing. One of the workers was on his break, having a drink like they all do.

It was raining hard on the day off he had. He was walking in the rain trying to shake the feelings, but it was proving difficult. He thought maybe some fresh air would help. So far it wasn’t helping much. He walked under the railway bridge, past the bunch of builders who were busy doing something or another. One of them noticed him and pulled him to one side,
