Waking up in a bumpy hospital bed was getting old. The smell of old people, as ghostly dressed figures prodded at her with their so called “medical technique”. Their opinions written on clipboards as they pulled out binders to recall previous incidences. “Miss Stone, you were admitted after a violent beating a year ago, to this very day in fact, correct?” presumed the Doctor as he inspected her. “Correct” Sarah answered, with a smirk on her face she sarcastically continued, “but Doctor, I’m not in any pain so can I be on my merry little way or what?” The Doctor was confused as he replied with an unsure “Miss Stone your back was covered with blood and you were left with a nurse unconscious, do you even know how you got here?”
Sarah Stone was now stuck in thought as memories flooded back until she remembered the Paramedic, “a Paramedic brought me, who did you think brought me here?” she argued. “Miss Stone the man that brought you here was not a Paramedic, did he pretend to be an emergency aid?” the doctor responded. Sarah was now a little emotional, not knowing who brought her, not wanting to accept that what happened was real. Sarah needed a way out.
“Doc, pardon me for overstepping my bounds, but can you not tell the difference between what’s real and what’s fake?” Sarah continued her blunt lie as she gathered her clothes and kept eye contact with the clocked Doctor she faced, “see Doc, me and my friends were at a party and it was a vampire theme, fake blood and oh man tons of alcohol. My buddy bobby must have dropped me off and my goodness my parents are probably so worried!”
The Doctor just squinted as Sarah continued to gather her things, but then he opened his mouth allowing an order to exhale as he spoke. “Miss Stone you cannot simply show up and walk out, there are proper instructions, documents, papers- ” He was cut off as Sarah bluntly yelled “Yah! So?! You want to cuff me, chain me up huh? What do you want, a medallion? You checked me out, I’m healthy and now I am leaving so get the hell out of my way, Doc!”
