Day 20: Intercom, Evening
When the clean click of the intercom sounded through the speakers throughout the Institute, a yawn slowly followed after it.
"Well! Is it just me, or did that last shift seem to drag on forever? Huh." The Head Doctor made the sound of half-pain, half-relief as he seemed to stretch out in his chair. He soon gave a sigh and continued to speak into the mic. "In any case, it looks like our long day is finally over, and I think all of our... well, most of our wonderful doctors deserve an enthusiastic thanks for all of their time and energy!"
He cleared his throat.
"In any case, it's time for dinner, then bedtime! Nurses, please escort the patients from their current locations to their rooms. Tonight, the standard meal for everyone is hot turkey sandwiches with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas! Bread rolls, butter, and a cookie included for dessert. Tonight's drink is water, milk, or cranberry juice from the cart. Ho ho ho! Aheh."
The Head Doctor, paused, then sighed.
"Have a good night, everyone!"
The intercom clicked off.
