FREAK SHOW HOUSE N°5
At 9 o'clock in the morning:
Last week there was one day I couldn't sleep and read all night long and went to sleep at 4 o'clock in the morning and somebody knocked on my door at 9am. It seemed to me I only closed my eyes for one second and then I woke up because of the knocks-knocks on my door. I waited with my heart thundering (whenever I wake up from an alarm or not naturally I have my heart racing into my chest this is weird). Well anyway even though I was waiting for the knocks-knocks to stop, they didn't and insisted, so I got dressed and opened the door. Magda, the polish girl next door was standing there and told me : my cousin (whom she was sharing the room) she can't move anymore she is on the floor and she threw up all night long...I said to myself "oh then that's what I heard, I was wondering where were coming the noises, I couldn't hear distinctly and I thought it was the gay guys having fun in the shower if you know what I mean". So she told me "do you know 911 in English?" and I didn't know...
At the hospital :
And of course the internet wouldn't work anymore, so we looked for the yellow pages and when we found she asked me to call them because she said "I speak and understand English better than her"...ok but I was such in half asleep half awake state that I was barely understanding anything!
The lady over the phone asked me so many questions, and I was asking the questions to Magda and the lady on the phone thought I was just repeating because I couldn't understand and got more and more upset...then while we were waiting for an ambulance that never arrived we received another call from the ambulance assistance asking me so many more questions and I had to ask the girl who were throwing up all the time (though she didn't have any food to throw anymore so it was more painful, this was horrible). Anyway the lady on the phone told me we were living not far from the hospital (I didn't know were it was but I assumed I'd ask people in the street) and that we had to carry her to the hospital. So we did, and then Magda had to leave to go to work so I stayed with her cousin and we waited for 2 hours to get any medicines. It felt horrible not to have anything in my tummy I was so hungry and thirsty and when I wanted to go to the toilets :
At the toilets :
I opened the door and had a vision of horror, a huge woman sitting on the toilets (who obviously forgot to lock the door), her thighs were drooping sideways of the toilets. She screamed and I just let go of the door wich was kind of heavy and I was so petrified (maybe the scream+the thighs drooping) that I didn't move so when the door was slowly closing up I could still see her...
