And The Silver Spoon
You get to the hospital thirty minutes after your call with the nurse ends.
As soon as you walk through the emergency room doors and see the front desk, that same nurse must recognize you. Maybe its your sad face or your spacey eyes. But she calls you Mister Simmons before you can introduce yourself and take you right where you need to go.
She leads you down the rainbow-tiled halls of the pediatric wing, each step heavier than the next. It almost feels like youre walking toward your impending doom.
The risk feels greater than any villain youve ever fought.
You get to Theos door and stop. The nurse turns to you, head tilted curiously.
She asks if youre okay. She says your name a few times.
