Two down: a acronym for the tax department. ATO. Pencil scribbled at the paper given out at the train station. Anything to fill in the time to get home. Hands cover in her white gloves ignoring the lead marks she will need to disinfect later.

Her back stayed stiff in contrast to the rocking motion of the train along the tracks.
She would need to wash these gloves the very second she was home. A man sneezes.
Bleach.
