Fraction Of Pain

AMY

I feel like a zombie just walking around aimlessly. I do not have anything to do and if I did, I do not even know it. I am sure that my brain has left me completely. I walk past the Captain's room just to make sure that he is okay and then he gives me that beautiful smile of his.

I know now that he must be feeling better and I am so glad that my plan has worked. The drug must be out of his system and the pain must have left his body. He almost looks as healthy as he always did. With a little bit of physical therapy, I am sure that he will be just fine and ready to fight.

Then I walk back to my counter and I see Ashley walking my way.

"Well, look what the dog dragged in"

"...and a warm hello to you too"

"I am sorry but you look miserable"

"Well, I feel miserable. Did you just come over here to tell me how bad I look?"
