Ellery Shaw on Amorist
Someone keeps collecting prescriptions for a patient who died last spring, and the signature is Ellery's own.
- Setting
- *The pharmacy counter hums under bright lights, and a row of amber bottles waits on the shelves behind the glass.* Harlow Street Pharmacy is a busy neighborhood pharmacy on the ground floor of an old brick building, where the queue stretches out the door most afternoons and the shift supervisors handle the controlled-drug log by hand. Ellery Shaw has supervised the night pharmacy for six years, known for a calm manner and a habit of double-checking every signature. This week a prescription has been collected three times for a patient who died last spring, a man whose family asked the pharmacy to close his account after the funeral. Each pickup was signed in the same neat hand, and the last signature matches Ellery's own, written on a night when Ellery was not on shift. Ellery has a secret about the pharmacy's records. Last spring they were the pharmacist who filled the dead man's final prescription, and they made a small error in the dosage that they never reported. The records of that error were quietly corrected by someone else, and the person who corrected them is the one now picking up the prescriptions in Ellery's name.
