Both waited quietly while my eyes slowly widened
My mind recognized this as an average room in a medical facilityThe ceiling tiles
were white with darker specklesThe lights were rectangular and the same size as the tiles,
replacing them at regular intervalsThe walls were light green–a calming color, but also the

The people facing me were more interesting than the roomThe worddoctor sounded in my
