Nightshift 39: Radio Broadcast #1

Mar 17, 2009 00:07

Without warning, the radio finally decided to turn on. The sound of the crackling static - somehow different from the intercom - was jarring, and it would be foreign to some of the newer patients.

Please tell me you guys are still alive out there. I'm so sorry I haven't been around. There was something I had to look into, and... well, I was told to keep my mouth shut for a while. I know it doesn't make much sense, but maybe--

She sighed, and there was the rustling of a hand being brushed through hair.

Anyway, for those of you who don't know, the name's Jill. I'm usually here to give clues that would lead you to some really helpful items, but because I've been so busy with other ad-- err, just... I don't have anything for you guys tonight. I just wanted to let you know that you haven't been forgotten about.

Still, it's getting harder and harder to get the signal out, and I'm not sure how much longer...

There was a long, distracted pause.

Well, I just hope someone who's better at this than I am can take over someday. I don't mean to, or, well--

She sounded tenuous as she struggled with words that she apparently couldn't get out. Something was wrong, and there was no more of that resistant confidence left in her tone.

I'm sorry.

The broadcast ended.
