A little something I did as a special request from a fellow Redditor. Any and all feedback welcomed, and thanks in advance for reading!
With two more hours to go on his shift, Joseph got up from his seat by the monitor screens to stretch. The other three overnight guards had taken their turns doing a patrol around the complex, and now it was his. He fixed the way his belt sat around his waist, checked the monitors one last time, and stepped outside, locking the door behind him. He scratched at the straps of facial hair that went down to his goatee before sitting down in the golf cart parked outside. Joseph turned it on, flicked on the headlights, and fixed the mirrors. “One last patrol tonight,” he said to himself. “Let’s go.”
The apartment complex he worked at overnight was typically quiet. It was in one of the better parts of town, and as such had a rather expensive and reliable security system. Aside from cameras there were high rod iron fences with elaborate top decorations and self locking gates. He was one of five overnight guards, one stationed in each of the offices at the four corners of the complex, and the supervisor in the main office at the center.
