Hitech Communications

Down on Sankey Road 97/2, we’ve got this small shop for phones and stuff. It’s called Hitech Communications, but it’s actually just a cozy spot with a lot of screens and tiny screwdrivers laying around. Mostly, we fix cracked glass or help people who can’t get their internet to work. It’s funny how much people worry when their phones stop working. We see a lot of frustrated faces walk through the door, but usually, they leave feeling a bit better. We also sell some chargers and cases, the usual things you’d expect. The light in here is really bright so we can see the small parts inside the mobiles. It gets pretty warm with all the electronics running. I sit at the back bench mostly, squinting at circuit boards. Sankey Road is always busy, so there’s a constant sound of horns and engines outside. Sometimes we just sit and wait for the glue on a screen to dry. It takes time to do it right, even if people are in a hurry. We don’t have a fancy waiting room, just a couple of stools. Most people just stand and watch us work or go get a coffee nearby and come back. It’s a simple setup, just us and the gadgets, day in and day out. It is what it is, and we stay pretty busy with it all most of the time. We’re just here fixing things.
