Summary: Why do hospitals have to be white?

A/N: Very funny prompt! :D
Sadly there was just a "normal" item to my right, I can't wait to see the very interesting stories other authors make out of their things! ^^

And thankfully I quite like this fill, it already is quite helpful that now I have the time to make this things right. ;)
Vacation is just soooooo nice, ya know? ^_^


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

John does not like hospitals.

Not hospitals in general, he is a doctor after all, but it is more about their interior and appearance he does not like.

He never quite understood why hospitals have to be completely white.
A bit of colour would already make such a huge difference, but everything is white and - as Sherlock would say - boring.

He shakes his head slowly, wondering why a place which should be about life and healing has an almost ghostly appearance (even graveyards appear more lively with all those plants and flowers) when he walks past the gift shop and stops.

Turning his head to the right his eyes come to rest on a little plush tiger, sitting forlornly on a shelf of the gift shop with a big mouth and big feet.
A small heart is attached to its side and it looks to be incredible soft.

It also looks lively.

Without a second thought he takes it up (it really is quite soft) and buys it.

No matter how empty a place looks, you always have the possibility to add a touch of humanity, even if it is just a stuffed animal.

Hope comes in the simplest forms, after all.
