We finally reached the room I was going to wait in until the doctor came in and what was in reality a few short minutes felt like decades just laying on that bad listening to the sound of various televisions each tuned to a different channel, the clicking of keyboards as nurses jotted down notes and

I remember getting up trying to find my slippers, but then I froze at the sound of the ovens alarm. It was a strange feeling but in that moment the ovens alarm sounded like the noise the heart meter makes once a patient no longer has a heartbeat.
