"Buggy and Misshapen”
A doctor was quite feely after he ended the dispute with a blowout. Pacifiers hung on hooks around the emergency room as two nurses played cards with some guy who lived down the corner of a bb gun store, next to a few tables with five lamps and a five-week old jelly jar.
“My joker looks better than your joker,” he replied as cute with a display of philosophy.
Something was playing off the broken radio that turned the wise guy and the doctor on, but either nurse could hardly relate to sold items as follow: rusty hammers, mosaic glass, kitten pencil sharpeners, windshield colors, snapped books, marine rings, and coffee from a galaxy far away. A bit odd, didn’t they think? More than enough items were gathered in the emergency room for the hospital’s fundraising process. It all seemed… out of spite. Both nurses had to start shifts with the same name because any and all computers in the facility were buggy and misshapen.
“Doesn’t the future seem strange? My joker has been better than yours for the last three hours since two guys recovered from a heart attack and left us to our precious selves.”
“Oh, Richard! You’re just thinking of the bathroom again.” The nurses were honest.
“Yeah! Well the guys were standing by the coke machine and looking for presents left for them by visiting children of theirs. I’m more than a bit odd in my vocabulary, but don’t let my joker scare you until you’ve seen a fantasy or something.”
Suddenly, the joker on Richard’s card popped out and greeted the nurses with cotton candy.
“Excuse me?” Richard was surprised. “The candy is for the fairy who went out to sea to fetch sushi!”
“Really? Huh.” The joker grimaced in monochrome. “There’s commotion in the air which hangs on the balance, or to such extent as to leave me in earnest with Fluffy Sweets!”
“Isn’t Coal Valley a good 170 miles away from here?”
“Yes, but I have to go.” The joker vanished back into the poker card and the entire hospital was laughing at the medical trio. Doctor, nurse and nurse, Richard, and everybody blushed with exceptions toward sleeping patients on splintery cots. A triple rainbow eventually turned into a triple moonbow outside three windows against the emergency room where all three unfortunate victims cried for such short notice of romance and prestige.
