“Imagine yourselves at the top of a long and arduous rope”
The nurse had begun to speak again.Mr.Noble was sitting at a table by himself while the rest of the inmates sat huddled together closer to the nurse.
“Every time you pull yourselves up, you are getting closer to a cure, to being discharged. To being functioning members of society once again”
Noble got up, and he walked out of the group, he went towards Dr.Rotherham’s office.
“Dr.Rotherham?”
“Ahh, Mr.Noble, are we feeling better today?”
“Better how?”
“Is your little friend gone?”
Noble looked to his left, to see her sitting, right beside him, dressed in the same attire as him.It seemed to fit her just a bit better.
“Yes, she is”
She quickly reared back and punched him in the arm.
He turned to look at her, she quickly smiled and as she did, his anger dissipated.
“She’s sitting right beside you, is she not?”
Noble looked down, nodded.
“I’m afraid we can’t help you, Mr.Noble, not until she’s gone”
The doctor got up and left the two of them sitting there.
