It felt as though time had stopped moving. Zoey found herself moving from one room to another, tending to the numerous patients. Blood greeted her in each room, the pain reflected back onto her as a sense of exhaustion crept up onto her mind.
Tick. Tick—
Tick!
The more time dragged, the more she felt like she was starting to lose it.
"Nurse! Nurse!"
"Over here! I need immediate help over here! This is an emergency! We need you to quickly come here!"
"I need urgent help over here!"
"Nurse!"
The calls were endless, one bleeding into the next without pause, and as Zoey was ushered into another room, her stomach lurched violently in her chest.
Her eyes landed on the patient, and she froze for a split second at the sight of exposed organs spilling from the open abdomen, glistening under the harsh lights as the doctors worked with slow and careful movements to guide them back inside.
Squelch!
