A flicker of pain. Blood dripping. An open wound. A rush to the hospital. In the ER waiting for a doctor to close up the ****. The sting of a needle to numb my pain. Couldn't feel my arm for the rest of the night. Thick string going beneath my skin and tugging at my skin. A doctor with steady hands. He doesn't mind the blood oozing from my wound. Slowly my wound got closed up. Now my wound is healing at it's own pace. I am grateful for my coworkers; the cashier who called the store manager to meet me at the hospital and the pizza maker who drove me to the hospital. I want to thank the hospital staff for taking care of me that evening.
