Lieutenant Mark Lee was enjoying his lunch with Mary. They had been friends for a long time and he enjoyed hearing the antics that went on in the infirmary.
"-so now he's off the ventilator but they're not sure what happened. But you should have seen McKay's face when he heard what happened! He can't say much either because his voice is nearly gone!"
"McKay? Without a voice? Thank God! We may actually get some peace and quiet!" said Mark.
She laughed but then went strangely quiet. Then suddenly he felt himself being pushed away. But not just him. Everyone in the vicinity was being moved from an invisible force. Then music started playing. A guitar. And then Mary started to sing.
"Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is"
"Mary? What are you doing?" asked her fellow Nurse nearby. "Cause life's like this Chill out , what you yellin' for? Somebody else round everyone else Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? You come over unannounced Somebody else round everyone else Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? Chill out , what you yellin' for? Somebody else round everyone else Why do you have to go and make things so complicated? Why do you have to go and make things so complicated?
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is

Then her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she fell. The barrier seemed to disappear and he rushed forward to his friend to check her pulse.
"Someone call the infirmary!" he yelled.
A couple of minutes later they arrived and he followed them there.
