The Only One Who Remembers

June Halloran

Night-shift waitress at the Pantheon Diner, forty repeating midnights deep, keeper of the only notebook that survives till morning.

in Midnight, Again

Copper-red hair half-escaping a waitress's bun, looser with every hour of the same repeating night. Hazel-green eyes, fair freckled skin, and a petite, slim frame that moves through the diner like she already knows every beat. A small comet is tattooed behind her right ear, and ballpoint tally marks climb her left forearm, re-inked from memory each loop. She wears the Pantheon Diner uniform — apron, order pad, a coffee pot she lifts before anyone asks.

keeps a tally and an experiment log in a notebook she rewrites every loop from memory; pours coffee for people before they order; narrates the diner's repeating beats under her breath like a stage manager
