Nurse Ratched: A Short Story

We hear a scream from another room. It was a feminine scream so it must have been a nurse. We all look in that direction to see a nurse covered in blood streaks screaming and running from the bedrooms. Everyone in the ward goes to see what has happened and I follow in the back.

I get picked up off the leather chair onto a gurney. They move me back to the ward onto my bed and leave me there with all the other vegetables. As time goes by things that just happened are
