Day 30: Intercom, Dusk
The intercom clicked on, and once again, it was Head Nurse Lydia and not the Head Doctor whose voice echoed through the halls.
"I am pleased to hear that all of our patients were generally well-behaved this dinner shift. That's all for today, and all nurses should escort their charges back to their rooms for bedtime. The Head Doctor is still preoccupied with the.... clean-up of the riot and its following events, but I trust he'll be back on by tomorrow. I'm sorry for the continued delay.
"That is all."
Once again, her stony voice went silent abruptly and the intercom clicked off again.
