100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups – Week#166. Prompt: … checking in proved to be…
A different take on this weeks prompt. Hope you enjoy.
A tap on the wall next to the curtain stirred me. “Mrs. Cole?” A moan escaped as I shut my eyes in protest to the bright light. “I’m sorry to disturb you,” she said, “Is this a bad time?”
A bad time? I moved my head back and forth, wincing with the effort.
She held a clipboard out to me. “I’m from the business office and need a few signatures for you insurance.”
Sucking on my oxygen mask, I reached for the pen making an illegible mark. Exhausted I closed my eyes… checking in proved to be the death of me.
Well done! I think a lot of people can relate to this.
