[Mr. Shaman]

A shrug. “As one would expect given the circumstances.”

Do you need anything?

“I need this to be over.”

He would look around at his room, at all the medical equipment they had ready for him, at the charts and sip-cups and wet-wipes, at the $7 a day TV hanging from the ceiling. “What a waste,” he would say. “This stuff should be for people who need it.”
