Absolutely adorable!!! I giggled my way through this one this morning, first thing I read, and how dang cute is that! What did your co-workers think? Or did they contribute ideas? If this ramble doesn't make sense that would be because I'm not really awake yet, I'm just pretending right now. You are so creative! Making a whole story out of that one lonely bed on an elevator all by itself. Ok, sounding like a dork so stopping now! :D
My coworkers were pleasantly surprised! Some of them knew that I like to write, others didn't, but none of them had ever read anything of mine and were dually impressed by the fact that this was written at 3am in fifteen minutes.
Thank you so much, and your rambles made perfect sense. Glad I could provide a morning giggle :D

hahaha :D
i had images in my brain pan of swarms of our baby bassinettes rolling around like a tween gang, chucking diapers from their little drawers at unsuspecting heads.
on behalf of all of us who've had some mind-bending nights surrounding this, our latest full moon, i raise my stethoscope to you in solidarity, twirling it in the air and whooping a warrior cry.

Oh I absolutely LOVE that visual! I thought of tons more things to add in after, but decided to leave it as it was written (aside from a few slight edits because, hey, 3am).
hahah! It DID make me laugh (and, because I'm a giant wimp, I was a little spooked by the bed climbing the stairs). The bit with the brodas reasoning for joining your ranks--loved that! All, "We don't want people sitting on US, dammit." lol And was it just me, or was there a faint ringing of trumpets as the broda cavalry came to the rescue? ;)
One of my coworkers (who is wonderfully English), kept muttering "Oh my!" at various places. She was more spooked by the stretcher coming out of the ceiling vent, but did say that she found this very creepy (in a good way) and would never look at another bed the same way again!
And actually, the brodas DO want people sitting on them, not lounging around in the beds! It's not fair, you know. The beds get all the good patients!
You know, there may have been some trumpets! I wondered what that was! (LOL to broda cavalry!)
Thanks! And as long as your bed doesn't have wheels, you're safe. These sorts of attacks are limited only to the wheeled sort of beds one might find in a hospital ;)

And now, the thought of going to bed tonight makes me a bit nervous...

*glances suspiciously towards the bed and takes a deep, calming breath*
That's good to know. I'll try to remember that! :)
