The Hospital

[rainbowmods]

The hospital is sterile and sprawling, its hallways and patient rooms painted a glaring white. The floor is made of something hard and shining, and the lights are that peculiar kind of flourescent that makes everyone look ill.

The first floor consists of the lobby (painted a sickly green), an emergency room, and several surgery suites, all stocked with cutting-edge, even futuristic, technology and supplies. There is a cafeteria, though the buffet line is empty; the only consumables seem to be stocked in a line of vending machines along one wall. There are no stairs, only elevators, to the upper floors, which all consist of patient rooms: made beds, glazed windows, dying flowers, and the hard plastic orange chairs that are a constant in hospitals.

The whole building smells like antiseptic and death.

Jo frowned. Something worried her about the woman before her. How hesitant she was reminded her a bit of something.

In a kind tone, she said, "It would probably be a better one than mine. I can't particularly fathom why the science department would create one of a hospital. What is your suggestion?"

Kayleigh shrugged uncomfortably, then decided to go for it. This woman reminded her of Paige, and there was nobody nicer than Paige. "We went through a portal in space/time. This has happened before," she added, hurriedly. "To me and Paige and a bunch of other people.

"Oh, that does make more sense than my own theory. After all, none of their experiments have ever been this good."

Jo sighed and sat down in one of those hideous orange chairs and motioned to the one next to her. "Want to spend some time with me then while we see if anyone else knows anything else about this place?"

"Sure," Kayleigh said, and sat down, trying to ignore that she was a little bit relieved. She'd only just conned her way out of therapy, she didn't want to go right back in just because she was a little weird about being alone.

"One of my scientist friends did mention something about portals the other day," said Jo in an offhand way, "I wonder if, at least the one I went through, had anything to do with that."

She turned to Kayleigh. "What's your name, anyways? I'm Johanna. Jo for short."
