Day 38: Intercom, Afternoon
The jingle rang out over the sound of people munching down on tacos and taking big bites of burritos. The Head Doctor cleared his throat, as if calling for everyone to pay attention, before he began with his usual announcement.
"Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their lunch enough to continue on to today's next exciting shift! Everyone will be heading to the Game Room, where we have many recreational activities that all our patients can partake in and have fun with! After all, happiness is the best medicine anyone could ask for, hmm?
"Of course, not all of you will be going to the Game Room; some of you have appointments this shift with our staff of world-class doctors. By getting to know you, they will be better able to learn about your illness and thus become better able to cure you - and you do want to return to your loving families, don't you?"
The Head Doctor paused, as if what he had said was too sinister for Dayshift. However, he shrugged it off with a laugh.
"Don't worry. I have hope that our program can rehabilitate every single one of you, which... is why I must continue paperwork for our new set of patients! I'll speak with you next shift!"
The intercom, as always, clicked off.
