Noah sighed, he sat at the table with his head resting in his left hand while he absentmindedly stirred his tea and watched the swirls of liquid follow his spoon. He sighed again. He did not want to go to the staff mixer tomorrow. But it was mandatory. The mixer happened every time a fresh group of interns came in so that they could meet the people they would be working with. It made interacting and asking for help a lot easier for the newcomers when they started work. Noah took his tea to the sink, dumped it out, then washed his cup. It’s...

Mari sighed. She didn’t ask for this to happen. She was a typical teenage girl having fun and enjoying life to it’s fullest. and life was good. Until the accident. She merely sustained a slight head injury, (i.e. a goose bump,) and they kept her in the hospital for three days to make sure she didn’t have a concussion or a brain bleed.

With that done, she laid back and stared through open slats that made the roof. The slats were made of steel and were anchored in firmly to the frame.

She looks at the clock again. It’s been five minutes since she last checked it. It seems like it has been an hour. She had already been here 2 hours. When will someone come and talk to her. Music is playing and she hears a Tom Petty song She doesn’t agree with him. The waiting isn’t the hardest part. It’s feeling like a failure that hurts the most. She didn't know where it all went wrong or when. She just feels in the pit of her heart that it was her fault. She thought back to that spring day 3 years ago. The wedding was beautiful and anyone...
