Rachel POV

Our Blessed Goddess Medical Center - Surgical Waiting Room Floor 3

No one came to tell us any updates. No one came into the waiting area to join us in the waiting. No one came for any reason at all.

Nurses and doctors bustled around outside the surgical waiting lobby while the overhead intercom went off in unpredictable bursts.

I could tell Our Blessed Goddess was a living hive of busy worker bees all buzzing around while they did their errands in the name of their queen. I doubted the hospital was ever still or quiet. I should have been comforted by the constant hum of energy.

All I could feel was increasingly cold panic freezing me from the inside.

In spite of the buzz of the hospital, I became quieter and quieter myself until I wondered if any sound would come out at all if I opened my mouth. Would I be able to scream? Was it possible to scream loud enough to purge myself of the freezing fear paralyzing me in place?
