'There has to be something wierd that can help me prove that this is the dream,' she thought to herself.


Azusa watched as the older nurse changed her empty I.V.

"Who's the other nurse that comes in every night?"

"Other nurse?"

"She's younger and usually comes in after you."

"Oh, her…she's new. She hasn't been working with patients as long."

After making sure that the new bags were dripping properly, she patted Azusa's head and left.

The door opened again shortly after the first nurse had left.

Not a word was spoken as she walked to the patient's bedside and immediately went to work.

Azusa watched as the younger nurse changed her empty I.V.

"Who's the other nurse that comes in every night?"

"Other nurse?"

"She's older and usually comes in before you."

There was an awkward silence as the young girl waited for a reply.

"There's no other nurse assigned to this room at night but me."


It was becoming harder and harder for sleep to come.

Azusa began dreading the time when her eyelids would start to droop.

It was in fact this brief time before they closed completely that she would experience her most restful periods.
