Two siblings sit next to each other as they rest from their long day of stress; sleep seems to be slowly taking over them despite being in a sitting position. It seems as if nothing has happened because of the calm and silent atmosphere. The only sign of something happening was in the minds of those who went through the recent occurrence.
Just as suddenly as the storm of people getting hurt appeared, just as quickly it all went away. Inexplicably, the majority of citizens of a small town got into some accident and got hurt, some of these accidents were caused by another person, but others just suddenly seemingly for no reason. Confusion and fear have completely taken over the tiny town, nothing like this has ever happened and that's been keeping everyone warry of people they aren't familiar with.
There was already a certain division of communities prior to this, but now the people that no one knew much about were receiving the guilt of people getting hurt, despite there not being any proof. Regardless of what was on people's minds, everyone was glad that the crazy stuff had stopped and that no more reports of accidents were appearing.
Somehow the two siblings managed to finally reach their deep sleep and taste the sweet dreams surrounding them. Silently enjoying their rest after all the exhaustion, they completely forgot that they were in a hospital to see their close friend.
…
Slow, but strong footsteps echo in a hallway as someone passes through it; being the only source of sound, each step feels like a loud explosion. These explosions quickly echoing through the hospital, woke up someone tightly sleeping.
"Oh, shit!" just as suddenly as she woke up, just as suddenly the words came from her mouth.
Confused by the scare, she looked around, only to realize that the room is empty, but her little brother is still sleeping. Giving out a small sigh, she assumed that it must have been just a dream since her brother hasn't reacted at all. Feeling relieved the girl leaned back against the chair and started thinking about the day she just went through. So little seemed to make sense, at first it was just to see her friend, but in the next second she was taking care of people.
Due to the lack of staff, the people who didn't get hurt were asked to help, luckily, while there were a lot of accidents, it wasn't serious for most people, maybe just a scratch or a small mark. But since so many got hurt, each person was checked for any head trauma and received a quick psychological test along with other things. The real problem wasn't that people got hurt, but the way they reacted to finding out in what kind of situation they are in.
All these thoughts were just racing through the girl's mind, nothing seemed to make any sense and it all felt like a dream. She wanted to break away from it for at least a moment and play with her phone, but after searching her pockets the girl realized that the phone was not with her. There was too much exhaustion on her mind to feel angry, so she decided to just sit back and think where she could have left it.
…
"Are you sure you can do it?", some woman quickly said.
"Yes, of course, anything I can, I will, just tell me what!", with honest sounding voice spoke a girl.
Taking a small pause to think, the woman growled a little bit and then sighed, "Fine, what the heck. Make sure you ask their names and these ten questions, write down their answers and if they are willing, ask for their dates of birth."
After finishing, the woman extended her hand over to the girl to hand her a folder filled with paper pages and a single pen.
"Yes, ma'am!", expressing the tension she's under the girl agreed.
"Good.", the woman gave a small smile, but it faded after she looked at something to her left, "Alright, I got to go now, good luck!"
Being completely aware that she has to move now, the girl went to the first person she saw and asked in a nervous voice, "Hey, excuse m-"
Not even getting to finish what she was going to say, some man pushed her really hard and was holding tightly, scaring her. When trying to get away from this person, he started touching her quickly, confusing the girl even more.
"H- Hey, get off!", the girl yelled feeling scared of the man's actions.
That yell seemed to help attract people's attention and in return caused the man to let go and dash away from the scene. The girl was left completely dumbfounded by what just happened, but looking around her and hearing the loud voices around her, forced her to focus on her job. Confused as she may have been a second ago, there was no time for any of that, stress is filling everyone and now she has to do her best and help with resolving it.
Meanwhile, the girl's brother is just walking around analyzing what people are doing, he is completely enveloped by curiosity. He did not possess the same kind of focus as his sister did, instead he enjoyed flowing around the world, pretending that he isn't a part of it. Unfortunately, no matter how distant he might feel from this world, he still needs to eat and is feeling hungry right now.
It seems as if he is familiar with the hospital's layout and is heading directly to the only wending machine in the building. On his way to it, some man appeared from behind him, he seemed to be in a rush and shoved the boy to the side and continued to run. At first, neither of them realized, but the man dropped something on the ground.
Only when the man was not visible anymore and the boy had recovered from the sudden push, the phone came into view in front of the young teenager's eyes. It seemed a little bit familiar to him, he grabbed the phone and looked at it carefully. Just before getting to think, it sounded like loud cursing was coming from the direction the man ran to.
The boy wanted to commit an act of small revenge because the man being so rude to him; the boy ran to behind the wending machine right after taking the phone. Fast footsteps were approaching, stabbing some fear in the boy's mind. Regret started to appear, but before he decided to get out of his hiding place, some loud noise appeared, scaring and causing him to shrivel deeper in the corner of the wending machine.
It sounded as if two pieces of hard metal were smashed together. Tens of minutes pass by with complete silence, but the fear still lingers inside of the boy, forcing him to stay down in the corner clenching the phone in his hands.
