THE LOG

Mavenlus DeskFICTION

The clipboard hung on a nail by the walk-in cooler, and on it was the temperature log.

Two columns.

WALK-IN COOLER and WALK-IN FREEZER.

Twice a day, morning and afternoon, initialled.

I filled the cooler column myself most mornings, because I was the one on butter and it was on my way.

Thirty-seven degrees, thirty-eight, thirty-six.

Real numbers off a real thermometer.
