The next day Patricia and Christopher walked into the dentist hospital, it was fifty minutes past one noon. “I’ll sit here waiting for you” Patricia gestured to one of the seats at the waiting room“ok then, I’ll go look for her, I’m sure they are getting her prepared” Christopher walked into a slimmer lobby, leaving Patricia at the waiting room.

The dark cloudy night was followed by a bright beautiful morning. But no matter how beautiful the morning was, it was just another day of work stress. Patricia arrived at the hospital earlier than usual, the traffic that morning was less.. she went in to the changing room, she changed into her scrubs, and headed for the patient’s rooms. she peeped at Mr. James room, he was still sleeping, Patricia smiled and went to the next room.

I wasn’t feeli
