Chapter 1: Time

Time passes slowly; with each drip of Isabella's IV.

Drip

Drip

Drip

With each hiss of the mechanical lung, forcing in life giving oxygen in to her battered body passed the damaged tissue of her lungs, Time passes quickly.

"Doctor her BP is dropping."

"We need to get some pressers in to her"

"Paddles!" a doctor calls out. "Set to 300"

The sound of a small body flailing against a hospital bed filled the room, the tick of the clock, and then the sound of a heart monitor fills the room.

"She's back." A sigh of relief passed through the medical team, "make sure her blood pressure doesn't drop again, and increase the antibiotics. I think an infection is beginning to take hold"

Time does pass.
