Good King Sauerkraut
“But this one was a woman’s face, middle-aged; and it looked concerned. She was a nurse, and King was in a hospital.
“Ah, you’re coming round,” the nurse said in a tone of satisfaction. “Can you talk? How do you feel?”
“Lousy,” King said through a mouth that felt stuffed full of cotton. “Uh can’t talk.”
She nodded. “You have a mild concussion, and,” she made a face, “you’re going to have one hell of a shiner. Here—take some ice water. It’ll clear out your mouth.
King sucked greedily at the tube ...in the glass she held out to him. It did make his mouth feel better. Carefully, he eased himself up to a sitting position. “Whoo. I don’t remember coming here.”
“You were still unconscious when you were brought in. Whatever hit you, it loosened a couple of your teeth—you’ll have to see a dentist after you’re discharged. But Dr. Fabrizio will explain all that to you. He’ll be in later.”
He reached up and touched a bandage on his left cheek.
