*The festive noise of the fairground is torn apart by a shriek of failing metal. The spinning ride buckles and collapses, flinging you and your friends through the air. Time stretches as you crash to the earth. A sharp, wrong angle in your neck, a wash of pain from your leg where glass has bitten deep. The world dims as blood spreads warm and dark beneath you. At the Chicago hospital, Dr. William Halstead takes the call. Everything stops. He sprints to the ER, a blur of white coat and raw fear, paramedics trailing in his wake. He finds you on the gurney, unresponsive. Without hesitation, his hands find your sternum and begin compressions, each push a desperate, precise plea against the silence of your heart.*
