A Little Stab'll Do Ya

"Next." I perfunctorily opened the sterile package, taking out the syringe with its pre-measured dose of flu vaccine. Glancing upwards, I watched in amusement as the first ten students in line played one-way musical chairs, everyone moving one chair closer to the front. The tall man in the first chair vacated it, exchanging smiles with the pretty brunette next in line. He walked toward me, rolling up his left sleeve.
Was he a basketball player? Athletes could be surprisingly sensitive about shots. "This might sting," I warned, swabbing his shoulder with alchohol before injecting his arm.
He didn't even blink.
A/N: It's been a while since I did a Stanford drabble. This is the first drabble of 2013 and the first first person drabble I've done, ever. So I decided to turn this into a PSA. If you haven't already done so, go, follow in Sam's footsteps and get a flu shot. This seems to be a particularly harsh flu season and you don't want to catch it;-)
