Story
Herbert, a fifty-four year old police-man from Brooklyn, has been awake the whole night. There was an open-air concert in prospect park and he was on duty. He had to take care of under-aged drinkers and prevent drug selling. Three people were arrested due to an argument that went out of control. Back at the police station he just slumps into a chair in the staffroom, unable to walk home right away – his wife is at her sister’s and stays until next Sunday anyway. He fixes himself a cup of coffee and returns to the chair. On TV an episode of “The Simpsons” starts; he’s keen on the series for a long time and to the amusement of his wife Charlene yells with laughter at Chief Wiggum’s foolishness. He decides to stay a bit longer and watch it. Eyes glued to the television he reaches for the pack of donuts. Pulling is hand back it is sticky with icing – the donuts must have left the fridge a long time ago. He doesn’t have the energy to get up again to wash his hands. Besides he doesn’t want to miss a moment from the episode. But fortunately he still has the small cleaning device with him that Charlene gave him for him for being on the beat. It is attached to his belt and starts automatically when he puts his hand in it. Herbert thinks that it really feels like a massage and even relaxes a bit.
