Big Machine
“Nurses ran the show. Husky women in their forties who distinguished themselves with different sets of festive scrubs.They wheeled me back before the Gray Lady returned, and even though I craned my neck to see through the big waiting room windows, I didn’t see her outside. I thought of leaving a trail from my chair to the back room, but I didn’t have any bread crumbs. Besides, how did I know she’d follow the path? Who was I kidding? That lady was gone. How could I have believed that nonsense abo...ut calling the Dean? She wasn’t off to deal with Claude. She’d abandoned me. In this condition I was more trouble than I was worth.The nurse helped me into a stall, then pulled the curtain shut and left me alone again.

With each minute I imagined Claude and the Gray Lady driving another mile, another mile. By the time the nurse came back, they were far away.MoreLess
