夜 NIGHT SHIFT 勤
“Remain calm. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
She was unwell.
For two days she had been running a fever and her throat had been sore. Tonsillitis, her mother said. Whatever that was. Daddy was gone to get medicine to make her feel better. This did not excite her—if she had learned anything in her seven years, it was that the cure was frequently worse than the problem, at least where taste was concerned. Mostly she was worried about Max, her dog. He was at the vet’s office, sick as—well, you know. It was no fun being a sick little girl, and even less fun with no puppy to snuggle. Not to worry, her mother assured her. Soon everything would be just fine....
She was unwell.
Alone in her apartment, the old woman kept company by her cats, a moldering cliché awaiting the grim reaper’s cold hand on her shoulder. If she appeared sad, well, she hadn’t much to be happy about. Her family rarely visited, and as for the neighbors...best not to get her started. She had no time for them. They were loud and obnoxious with their fraternizing and their music and such. She just wanted to sit quietly in her apartment, leaving occasionally to buy groceries and cat food. Was that so much to ask? Only lately she had been feeling a mild flu coming on. Those things can turn so quickly to pneumonia at her age. But she had always been healthy. In a few days, she would be right as rain....
They were tired, burnt, exhausted. A week of non stop work. Combined with an uneven sleep schedule, they'd been working their hearts out. The faculty and staff of Blue Coast Memorial Medical Center prepare for a long night as their shifts begin . But that’s a doctor’s life isn't it? Waiting, passing time....But on a night like this. Everything they prepared for, everything they got ready for, would quickly become useless, as the patients of the hospital would become a bit, violent, a bit unstable... a bit... undead. But this event will not be a random occurrence... because on a night like this... everything happens for a reason.
