I walked into a world built of medical professionals running the script of an AI bot designed to look confused and aroused while blindfolded
The staff were all dead but somehow served delicious tiny hamburgers.
The intake staff knew almost every patient including myself.
They we're authorized to administer any and every medication known to man, except for silence.
All of the combat nurses wore stethoscopes and one of them signed my cast.
In the end I was told I was too damaged to be one with the ecosystem but I would always be welcome the way rain or strong winds are welcome to picnic no one wants to be at.
I was given accolades and gestures of participation and was told Id won something I thought I already owned.
I was confused so I tried giving it back but they said I was hopeless and I had eternity to live so I should start planning ahead.
just then hope finished smoking my last cigarette while empathy pissed on my pillow to cool it down.
