BETSY
He’s just a man. Nothing to fear. Just like the rest of my patients, I
tried to reason with myself.
Sure. He’s a man like a shark is just a fish. Like a machete is
just a butter knife. Like glitter paint is just “okay.”
False. Glitter paint is everything, and the man I was about to see wasn’t
anything like the others. The rest of my patients didn’t require chains.
My footsteps echoed down the long corridor, and I tried to slow my
heart to match their rhythm.
“Hiya Nurse Morningstar.” The heavyset guard with kind eyes and a
Spanish accent greeted me.
“Hello Diego. How are Loretta and the kids?” I was grateful for a quick
chat. Maybe I’d get my pulse under control before seeing him.
You are strong. You are fierce. You are a nurse. You are Wonder Woman.
If she was about to wet her scrubs…
“Little Gabriella turns five on Sunday.” Diego smiled. “My wife has
been searching for the perfect piñata.”
Despite our easy banter, my heart pounded in my chest with increasing
persistence and a message that would not be ignored.
Turn back. Turn back. Turn back.
I’d only been working at this research hospital for a month, but Dr.
Sterling moved me to this wing a week ago. I’d never heard of the
Miskatonic Institute for Deeper Insight, but a doctor I bonded with at the
last clinic referred me when she found out I needed to leave in a hurry. The
new work differed greatly from my experience. I wasn’t privy to certain
information about the treatments, which made it difficult to know if I was
doing my job as well as I could.
And if this morning was any sign, things wouldn’t get easier around
here.
My stomach soured at the memory of losing a patient only hours ago. A
thick patina of sadness and guilt at not being able to save him engulfed my
feelings. I should have done more. The way he gripped my arms so tightly,
begging me not to give him the sedative. His death wrapped around my
neck like a noose.
Not for the first time, I wondered what my life would have been like if
I’d stayed in Montana instead of moving to Colorado. To the very place
where a hell mouth opened, unleashing all manner of monsters and dark
spirits of untold evil onto Earth.
Whatever possessed me to do something so stupid?
Oh right. I’d done it for a man.
My hand tightened around my medical bag. The mere thought of my ex,
and the dull ache in my chest I usually ignored expanded.
I wrestled the heartbreak back into the decoupaged box I kept in the
depths of my heart. I’d covered it in pictures of the sad orphan animals from
those Sarah McLachlan commercials, Billie Eilish lyrics, and broken heart
emojis.
