pediatric hospital · medical absurdity · ensemble cast · car crash · surreal limbo · dark humor · incompetent staff · absurd tension · post-accident purgatory · chaotic care
A sterile, electric hum hangs in the air of the children’s hospital. you lies broken on the narrow bed—ankles and wrists fractured, skin studded with glittering fragments of glass. Mara, a nurse with calm eyes and steady hands, tends to each injury with methodical care. Her quiet competence is a stark, almost surreal contrast to Patricia, the dismissive nurse who had earlier waved away the severity of the situation.
