Dr. Jackson Tarnover carefully examined the medical files placed in front of his with shock and then what appeared to be awe. He was older than most of the people in the walled city and many wanted to proclaim him some kind of King, but his first loyalty was to science and he had spent a lifetime looking for the careful blend of science, medicine and history as that which was laid out before him now.

If she were truly the link with the US from 35 years ago, she would know about the epidemic and where it started and maybe even how to treat it as she appeared to have a resistance to the strain.

Her feet trod confidently down the darkened corridor until she felt something and………………tripped. She tried to rise but something had constricted around her ankle and was pulling her into the darkness.

    I sit in the waiting room of the local hospital, clutching my hands in a fist. There are a lot of people even at this late of an hour all shuffling about, going up to the receptionists’ desk with scowls on their faces. They speak in harsh words and point at the clock. It seems like I’m the only calm one in a state of confusion, but I’m too scared to get up or do anything. My spine grinds against the back of the chair as I shift position so I’m hunched over. My hands are white and shaking, and my throat is parched but I gulp anyway as a lady comes up to me. I see only her sneakers and don’t meet her eyes.

    Lying sprawled out on the floor within an aisle of a Barnes and Noble bookstore, the crisp snapping of pages on my sweaty fingers accelerates my heart rate to a rapid level. My mind has escaped to a new paradise, I have lost connection with the world around me and have encircled myself with an array of mystery novels. However, they are not the conventional mysterious reads about ghosts and haunted houses, but instead, they are the inspiring and captivating stories of medicine. I find myself entering a trauma operating room, with a little boy on the operating table who has just been airlifted from a car accident. I can hear from outside the operating room his mother crying and banging on the window, screaming “do not let my little boy die”.

When back inside i cried in excruciating pain, I couldn't even feel my face. I sat there for a while thinking of those three terrifying words, Dr. Rust's office.

Ami sat in a plastic, maroon chair over in the corner and looked at the cold, disinfected, tile floor. The sounds of beeping machines and ticking clock flooded my ears. The nurse knocked on the door and both Ami and I jumped. She handed me a clipboard with some paperwork on it that asked for the basics: name, date of birth, reason for being here, consent to treat, and so on and so forth. I filled it all out the best I could, my mind was lost in another galaxy. Besides, how was I supposed to know what year my father was born in and the phone number to my mother’s work? Once I finished, the nurse took the clipboard and exited the room once again.
