(@work, 2am, opening the door of a bathroom & finding withered old woman lying on the floor like a snapped marionette. blood is on the bathtub edge where her head struck and pooling on the tile)
ME: uh oh. (into radio.) we're going to need an ambulance and RN in 603.
HER: cliff?
ME: stay down. what happened?
HER: the people came out of my wall. they brought my husband and his father. and then they were gone and i was here. when am i going to see them again?
ME: uh..soon?
