Another long day at the hospital, the subtle sounds of stretchers and doors opening plus a slight smell of storage, a familiar smell from when you had a cold and your mother tucked you in, a smell so familiar that I've gotten used to it

Interrupting my peace of mind and my thoughts about how I'm going to get home and pet my dog ​​and cat, the main doors of the hospital open and a girl... Well, a woman? I don't know how old she is, I could barely see her

"Why is the woman coming on a stretcher, and above all why is she surrounded by so many people?", that was the only thing I could think until I saw something that could freeze the blood of any doctor on this planet, or even any person in gender...

A short gun, on the sides of each of the men around the wounded woman, I can feel my blood freeze as one of them took me by the shoulder, causing a slight whimper in me and a singular stab of pain, the pain of being held practically like a rag doll, being completely manipulated by this man at least twice my height

And when I thought my life would end by seeing this event, the wounded woman extends her hands towards me, squeezing my mint green shirt, dragging me towards her, when she speaks, I can smell blood and death emanating from her mouth and especially from her eyes, a thought and feeling that makes me become nothing but a doll for her

Save my life... Doctor... Or right here... If I die... I will take many with me

I find myself completely paralyzed by those words and especially by the light tone of threat and cordial kindness of doctor-patient that is still in the air, slowly and against my will, I nod, despite all the worries that may be behind it, I decide to trust

"Get the operating room ready... We have to save a life"

My voice barely comes out of my mouth due to fear but also the challenge of dealing with this woman, a woman who does not seem friendly and above all: that she could simply kill me and wrap my body like a nice arrangement for her cat
