![]() UntitledA Story by Hannah WilcoxAs I round the corner I let my mind
wander… hospitals are far too white,
white walls, white coats, white sheets, white and sickly people. They ought to
change the color, maybe a dark blue, or grey. The red wouldn’t contrast as
brightly on a darker color .The paper and the charts need to change as well,
the ruffling and the scratching of the pens, why aren’t they electronic. The
bandages too… I thought, glancing down at my wrist… if the bandages were darker… People always want to know why; they
all think it is something that they can fix. They have asked and asked me, but
I don’t know, I don’t feel broken… they
need new wheel chairs too, the wheel on mine keeps squeaking, same place each
time. The nurses are taking me to see someone, I don’t know who, I wasn’t
listening when they told me who earlier. It's probably someone else who wants
to know why, but I won’t have an answer for them. I don’t know why I did it, I just did. I didn’t have some terrible
childhood, I am not sad all of the time, I don’t really want to die, I just did
it. If they change the bandages, you
wouldn’t be able to see the blood through them. I did it I sliced my
wrists, I don’t know why, I just did. © 2013 Hannah Wilcox |
