ANA DIAZ “Anything else I can help you with today?”

You’re a red string tied ‘round my finger
The Diaz family was small but sturdy. Ana was the miracle baby for her parents, who were told they couldn’t have kids. She was treasured, cherished, and knew she was loved from the day of her birth. Things were great growing up, until her father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Her mother worked longer hours at one of the most profitable attorney’s offices in Seattle, but they still struggled to pay medical bills. Ana, determined to help, started working at the Boxcar evenings and weekends.
Her job, though not glamorous or exciting, helped considerably with the day-to-day expenses, and she quickly made friends. It helped her cope with her father’s death and her mother’s eventual second marriage to the attorney she worked for. With the marriage she inherited a sister by the name of Lennox. Though she rarely saw her as she was always “away at boarding school” while Anna worked and went to normal high school.
There was another girl she was particularly close to by the name of Mikka. They spent nearly every night together, working hard and sneaking bottles of wine out the back. One night, as she was leaving, there was an attack. She’s convinced it was some sort of animal, that knocked her down and killed her friend. The imagery is fuzzy, however, and parts of it feel fake, like she’s watching a movie on top of her life. The one thing that’s clear as day is the terror.
The police said it was an animal attack, but one of the other waiters disappeared forever that night. He was strange, not well liked, and tended to bend the rules. It’s all a bit odd to Ana, but she can’t seem to put the pieces together and find the truth.
A little love letter I carry with me
Though it hasn’t been easy, there isn’t anything Ana would rather do than support and love the people who love her. She’s worked her way up from dishwasher to lead waitress, and has earned the respect from her coworkers and patrons alike. Ana has big dreams, but right now she’s just focused on getting through this semester. Working full-time and attempting to get into medical school takes up most of her life, but she rarely complains.
Ana carries a gun in her purse since the attack, but has yet to see any more dangerous animals. She keeps picking up on odd behaviors, though, attempting to figure out what really happened that night.
