Leaves drifted about as the early afternoon sun shone on the pavement of Bastion Hospital, dancing in the air like souls not wanting to cross over.
Blinking rays tore across the walls of the main hospital buildings as the sun reflected in the glass, while countless patients were admitted and discharged.

She rubbed her shoulders as a chilled wind flew past her, and the curtain behind her frayed upward as if giving way for death to pass.
"WHY? WHY DID IT HAVE TO HAPPEN LIKE THAT?!"
Metal clicking sounds echoed as Zoe slammed her fist on the wall, sending dust to spray on her tear-filled face. "I shouldn't have left."
