Creative Writing: The Nurse
Don´t cut on the lights
My nose was filled with the scent of old people and medicine as I roamed the hospital halls. I was searching for my brother. I looked around the long narrow hallway trying to find my brother's room. I looked into the room closest to to me. I grabbed the paper file beside the door and opened it. “Nope not his.” I stated. I went to another door. There was no file. The room must have been empty. I had checked a few more rooms in this hallway. “If he’s not in this hallway, he must be somewhere else.” I could have asked a person at the service desk, but they wouldn't let me near a cancerous patient.
I saw a person wandering the halls. A nurse: I panicked and looked around. If she saw me, the nurse would certainly tell my

Isaac lay there limply. “Is he d-dead?” I whispered to myself. “What are you doing out here?” I shrieked and jumped back almost falling. I looked up to see whom this strange speaker was. That nurse from earlier! “Well?” She said and I realized that I didn't give her an answer. “Looking for my brother…” I replied quietly. “Now young lady we don't permit kids to explore.Neither adults.” The nurse stated. “Uhm.. I know, but i was worried about him” I quickly answered. “Well young lady I need you to leave” She said angrily. “No! I want to know what y'all are doing to him.” I growled. She scoffed and I saw a glint of red in her eyes. I turned on my feet to run. I ran down a different hall, then before. “Dang it it's a dead end!” I shouted.
I looked behind my back. The nurse had returned. As she got closer I got scared. I balled up my fist and threw a punch. “....” I didn't feel the impact. Did she move? I questioned in my head. I opened my eyes to see my fist going threw her chest. I started to breath heavily. The last thing I saw before fainting, was the woman smiling

There's no way i'm letting him stay in here. What about my foot? I said in my head. I can’t walk. I bared the pain and stood up. As I got up I winced and limped to the door. I tried opening it, but it was locked. It was locked from the outside. I kept wobbling the door knob. There's no point. I looked around for another way out of here. I found a way out, but it would be hard. How would I pry the vent open? I questioned. I searched the room. It was a hospital room, there has to be something here. I checked a cabinet for something. It had a bunch of tools. “No screwdrivers…. Well that would be obvious.” I huffed thinking there was no way out. “Wait! The scalpel can work.” I Said and grabbed the sharp blade. “Now i need to find a way to reach it..” I pulled up a chair and climbed onto it. “Still not tall enough. Instead, I moved a desk over here. I stood on top of it and started unscrewing it. The vent fell with a loud THUD. I cringed and climbed into the rafters. I crawled through them. “I'm glad I'm small enough to f-” I cut myself off. “How will I find his room!” I whisper yelled. I searched and searched for hours. “How did nobody hear me?” I

    I tried to open my eyes but all I could see was darkness. All around me darkness sits, still and quiet. I heard a creak, then a minuscule and weak voice talked, “Sydney, are you alright?” “Mmm” was all I could get out of my weak and tired body. Then the voice talked to me again, “Sydney, this is Dad speaking. The doctor just told me that the impact of you hitting the seat in front of you was very hard, it blinded you for life.” Darkness grabbed me, never letting me be perky and happy again…

    Emerson has been grieving every day for two years and now tears are not able to fall from her eyes anymore. She decided to go talk to Brandon in prison. As Brandon walks up the glass, he is very hesitant to pick up the red phone. Ms. Emerson had a smile on her face which confused Brandon. “You took the greatest thing that happened to my life but now here with you to hear your side of the story,” she said. With tears coming down his eyes and face turning bright red. “I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me for the awful act I committed. My sister and I decided to run away from home because we was being treated really poor there. I knew that my sister was very hungry because she could not walk talk. We didn’t have any money so I decided to go look some food. As I was walking through your neighborhood and I notice that your door was open. So I walk in and went toward the fridge and I heard someone walking down the stair. I stood still because I did not know what to. He stared yelling and was going to call the police. I just couldn’t let him call the police because they was going to send us back to a foster house. I just could not let me sister suffer in another foster house. So I grabbed a knife and stab him in the chest. I ran away as fast as I could not knowing what I just did. I promise I did not mean to kill him. I am very sorry for what I did and I hope that I spend the rest of my life in prison so that can bring a smile to your face,” said Brandon.…

    “Charlie, Charlie! We need you over here now, hurry up!” Yelled Madison. “Oh crap sorry, I’m coming.” I replied. I didn’t want to get up but I needed to help him, I needed to prove myself. He lay upon the stretcher still as a calm night, so peaceful yet so loud. I look at him and pray that he fights this and that he will be ok because for some reason I feel guilt, a huge pile of guilt on my shoulders. I stood back just because of a comment that I should be used to by now. His pain is all on me. I should have helped him sooner and maybe his chances at living would be higher, if…

    My body is under attack. An attack I am all too familiar with. It feels as if an explosive has detonated in my head. I am disoriented and struggling to get my thoughts together. The pain is intense and crippling. I tilt my head back, and rest it on the headboard hoping for relief. I shut my eyes, and gently place my hands on my temples. As I begin to massage my temples, the invader silently enters into my thoughts and begins to taunt me, “You deserve everything you get, he whispers”. “It doesn’t matter how you try to escape me, I will be here. I will be here today, tomorrow, and for the remainder of your life”. Trying to ignore the whisper, I grab two Advil off the nearby nightstand, and wash them down with a sip of coffee. I squeeze my eyes tight, and begin to feel tears burn the back of my eyelids. My thoughts begin to become tainted with feelings of despair, hopelessness and sorrow. I open my eyes, and standing within arm’s reach of me, is my ten year old son. I choke back my tears, force myself to smile and reach out for a hug.…

    I could feel something down my throat. Beep, as the heart monitor started going off next to me, “You're awake!” yelled my mother, while holding back her tears once again. I turned to see my mother firmly grasping my hand and my dad in the corner of the room looking at me. ‘Where am I?”…

    Before I could even comprehend, my aunt was convulsing, with eyes rolled back and foam forming at the mouth. Hurriedly, my mom pulled her out of her wheelchair and rolled her on her left side. When the paramedics arrived, it felt like the universe was in slow motion. Voices seemed a million miles away, like soft echoes ricocheting off ragged cave walls. I was infinitely in shock; I could not process my surroundings. Mom rode in the ambulance, while I rode in Grandma Vita’s car. This moment would be the last time I saw Aunt Dori until tomorrow. The hospital was abnormally clean. Some rooms emitted no sound, however, others squealed well into the night. I never in truth noticed patients. Windows and cemented columns at every turn. The air conditioner was blasting from all angles. The doctors came by and solemnly murmured they desired to speak with my mother in private. Their eyes said to leave. Furious, I stomped off to the visitor waiting area. I may have appeared enraged on the outside, but it was all a charade. On the inside I was panic-stricken and somber. What was wrong with Aunt Dori? Why could I not attain answers? Mom returned with a pained expression on her face as the doctors calmly strode away. I recall her breaking the news to me sighing, “Do not worry, sweetheart. Everything is going to be fine.” She relayed the information from the doctors frankly, holding nothing back.…

    It’s my first day in this mental hospital, and I hate it. These green suits are like hazard suits. They’re meant to shield the wearer from hostile environments that are a threat to their health. Here, it’s the converse. They’re meant to protect the staff and society from us. I’ve heard from this Indian guy, some Chief Bromden, that whoever’s in there is different than what society accepts. I’ve also heard from him that Lord Nurse Ratched gets to determine whether you leave or not, which all depends if you’re committed. My entry interview to determine that is next.…

    I sat down behind the giant window, so I can remember there is a world out there that has the potential to be better than this. Sitting with my head down twiddling my thumbs I feel the rush of air: someone sat next me. I slowly look up like a gazelle being stalked by lion. There's was a very slim possibility i would know someone here, this clinic was an hour away from my hometown, but as my luck would have it, my one in million chance occurred. Sitting next to me was Daisy…

    Dad Narrative

    • 5 Pages

    Once again, I found myself wandering through the uncomfortable, brightly lit halls of the hospital. I was to find the room where my father was, an all too familiar task. "Room 443", I was told by my mother who had requested me to take my dad back to his apartment. Upon entering the elevator I let out a sigh of apprehension and turned to wearily push the button labeled "4". Whiffs of disinfectant products meandered themselves inside my nose while I looked around to see egg-white walls and nurses shuffling about in their bright, floral print scrubs. One of them approached me with a kind smile. "May I help you?" I briefly responded saying I needed to find my father, Charles Jolitz. "Go down the hall. He's in the last room on the left." Slowly making my way to the door, I speculated about what had happened to my dad this time. I entered the room thinking to myself, "Boy, he looks worse every time.", his salt and pepper hair ruffled, beard unshaven and a look of loss on his face. Though as soon as his eyes met mine, that face lit up and the corners of his mouth upturned into a smile. "My chickadee!", he exclaimed. I asked him how he was feeling and if it was time to go as the nurse carted in a wheelchair. All three of us made our way down to the lobby exchanging small talk. I dashed to my car, happy to be out of the dreariness that is a hospital. I hoped he would tell me why he was there yet again. Once in the car, he told me in a few words that he had had another episode due to taking his pain medication with a fifth of vodka and had lost control. He ended up dialing 911. My dad hurriedly changed the subject asking if I was hungry and if I would like to go have a burger. I let out another sigh. "I'm sorry, Dad. I'm not hungry, I've already eaten but I can take you to get one. We can go for lunch later this week." "Alright, sweetie.", said he. We arrived at his apartment complex and I walked him to his…

    Walking down the corridors I again ask myself why life is so cruel towards some. A man, no younger nor older than myself trapped, hospitalised for the final months of his life. He had his whole life ahead of him, a budding football star and small-town musician with a loveable personality and smiling eyes. Whilst talking with many of the town’s residents eagerly awaiting updates on his condition, they began with anecdotal experiences they had of Jacob. A member of his football team quoted “You can only fail as many times as you do not attempt.” I stopped dead in my tracks before turning and sprinting back towards the hospital room. Ignoring the incredulous looks from those around me I barge into his room and repeat the inspirational words I had heard not five minutes previously. “What the hell are you on?”…

    He was lying in his bed struggling to take every breath. The Hospice doctor said he wouldn’t live more than twenty-four hours now. Uncle Ralph’s chest sounded like a motor running because his lungs were so congested. We thought that suctioning out his lungs would help him to breathe a little easier so I volunteered to ask the nurse for help. Doctor Kinsley called for an available nurse. The one around the corner yelled back that she could come to his room. She was told that we requested some help for Ralph’s breathing, and she said, “Shall I dim the lights and open the windows for them too?”…
