It had been a long night in the hospital and Carl was exausted, sitting down on the old stuffed arm chair coffee cup in shaking hands he took a sip and closed his eyes. Accident and emergency had been hell tonight and images of this girl flashed before him , she had been in a hit and run and when they brought her in she was not good not good at all.They had done all they could but sadly she had lost her fight for life and she was taken down to the morgue where Carl had to work his magic on her before distraught parents were brought in to identify her. His job simply was to make them look better there faces cleaned all marks covered after when he looked at her she had the face of an angel and looked peacefull just like she was sleeping and now sitting there after a long night her image was stuck there in his mind. Clocking off he shucked on his coat and headed out it was sheeting with rain and he cursed under his breath as he ran to his car getting in wiping the rain from his eyes he saw her and his breath stilled a girl with long blonde hair no shoes on her feet wrapped in a white sheet she looked at him with souless eyes no emotion when he blinked and looked again she was gone. Need more coffee he muttered and started off into town his stomach growled and he realized he had not eaten since lunch time, pulling into the railway cafe he walked inside steam misted up the windows as a girl sauntered over chewing the ends of her hair handing him a menu she looked irritated like she wished her shift to be over coffee? she asked hovering over his table yes please and can i have a piece of your blueberry pie with cream? The coffee washed down nicely and he attacked the pie with great enthusiasm like his hunger pangs had attacked him all sides when he looked up he saw her the girl wrapped in the white sheet bare feet eyes blank she looked cold and he thought he should go out and bring her inside paying up quickly he headed out the door the rain had eased off now and the steam from the dull lighting seemed to bounce off the puddles forming at his feet where was she where had she gone dam he really needed to have a few days off and soon his mind was playing tricks on him. Finally home he peeled off his work clothes and dived into the shower the hot water was wellcoming and after he had slipped into his nightwear he flicked on the tv idly watching some quiz show then the screen flickered a seconed and what he saw made him freeze it was the girl from mortuary and she was alive and well except she looked sad her parents were arguing and her dad was drunk suddenly he lurched into the living room where she was sat and started to hit out at her she flinched as he raised his fists and shoved him out of the way and as he chased after her she ran out into the night and straight into the path of a car driving way to fast full of teenage boys on the lash the impact was hard and she fell then cries all gathering around her as someone called for an ambulance and everything in a freeze frame played out and as Carl watched he saw that her life her dying momments were playing out in front of him and then the screen went black and he wondered was it his mind was he going mad he needed sleep all he needed was sleep and then he would be fine in the morning wouldnt he ?
