The anguish that came in short splutters from the doctor’s mouth left me more than shell-shocked.
The panic that came after, however, knocked me over.
The doctor was the grim reaper, issuing death sentences to the people who visited him, unfeeling, cold, and resistant to the pleas and bargains of the victims.

Sure, change is the only constant, but I didn’t need this.
