“She looked like she was sleeping and she was just going to wake up and start her day any moment. Impossibly small in that bed, her usually golden skin seemed bleached white under the harsh florescent lights. She looked younger than the sixteen he knew her to be, but remembering the last time he had seen her at eleven, he knew she had changed in significant ways.

They neatly disguised the underlying disinfectant hospitals always smelled like, if they didn't smell of worse things.MoreLess
