Dim light outside the hospital, a misty dawn, the smell of linoleum and disinfectant, stretchers carrying frail bodies toward the ICU. Wait… Wait… Wait… Eight in the morning, the chapel open since 1886, and I inside the building, a spectator among uniforms, among sickness, among spotless walls and the anxiety of being left behind.
