Day 46: Intercom, Noon
The intercom announcement commenced with its usual jingle.
"Hello, everyone, and I hope not too many of you dozed off in the Sun Room today! A ha ha..." The Head Doctor's chuckle was loud and confident; it seemed he'd completely and officially gotten over whatever had been eating at him just a couple of days before. He continued with a hearty: "Anyway, next on today's schedule is some delicious lunch! Namely... pizza! Of several varieties, too! Cheese, pepperoni, sausage, tomatoes and basil, pineapple and ham... well, I don't quite understand the appeal of that last one, but... nevertheless! Many choices for your enjoyment! Of course, we also have our usual assortment of drinks and salad bar options - fruits, vegetables, legumes... the works. As sides for the pizza, we have potato chips and garlic bread with marinara sauce.
"Mmm... doesn't your mouth water just thinking about it? I suppose that's the cue for your nurses to escort all of you to your next meal. I hope that those of you in therapy made some notable progress and I'll talk to you after lunch!"
The intercom clicked off.
