This is going to be a compilation of drabbles or other short fics. I'll post anything that I don't find substantial enough to stand on its own in here. Enjoy!
If you cared about the title, continue. If not, skip ahead.
As of 3/2/2016, the title is Inheritable. This is because I am a computer science major and I'm not creative enough to think of good titles so I thought about data structures instead. My thought process kind of went: This is a collection of stories and Collection is an interface in Java but Implementable doesn't sound very cool, so let's call it Inheritable because AbstractCollection is a class and that makes enough sense to me.
Rating: not M (let's face it, it's the only one that matters)

Nurse
This woman is just a nurse. She works emergency three days a week even though her mother begged her not to. It was something she had to do if only because it was something she could do. She would be just fine, she assured her mother. She isn't afraid of a little blood. And though it was a bit of a lie at first, she quickly learned not to be. She has stitched together slashes longer and wider than her own arm.
Some days are as mundane as putting fingers in splints. Other days, she has seen the shinobi careers of children end before they even begin. She has watched lives bleed out from beneath her fingers. She has seen anguished friends and family members die with their hearts still beating when all she can offer them is a glass of water and a tissue to dry their eyes.
And yet she has seen the joy when parents see their baby for the first time. She has heard the sigh of relief in the room when a ninja's eyes flutter open after weeks in a coma. And she has felt the overwhelming gratitude sent her way for something as simple as a smile and a new blanket.
She is just a nurse. She couldn't land a kunai in a tree trunk a meter away even on a good day, but when the village needs her, she knows she does her part.
