Finding Out What They Knew Already

I’m learning, at last, not to like hospitals. This one’s proprietory grip is sick: comforting and suffocating. Even smoking outside in London’s winter’s freeze I stand under its glass eaves.

Every nurse passing the cubicles is a threat. They could tell me anything – get out, get away, he’s hurt, he’s dead, he’s not coming back.
