SCROLL SLOWLY, HE'S ON SHIFT✳   EST. THE NIGHT THE CHART WENT RED

The chart
went red.

Five crayon drawings turned up on the break-room corkboard. Together they show how one small trader ended up back behind the counter.

WAGIE'S TIMECARD / SHIFT 01 CLOCKED IN
DRAWING ON ITS WAY Wagie sitting on his bed at night, holding a phone with a red line going straight down, one tear on his cheek STRAIGHT DOWN
NO BOUNCE
3:12 AM, ONE BED, ONE LONG RED CANDLE

The chart went red.

Wagie was still awake when it happened. One long red candle, then another. He watched the line slide off the bottom of the screen and kept watching, in case it came back. It did not. One tear landed on the glass. In the morning he went looking for his old visor.
