Nurse Carl was walking down the corridor checking his schedule on the clipboard, again, as if hoping that the next entry on the list would be gone. It was there though, "Joe Blaide" clear as daylight. It wasn't that he didn't like the girl, but sometimes she just got really weird and her unpredictability made her dangerous. As he came to her door he placed the clipboard in its holder and took out her medication to be administered. Thankfully there were no need for injections and he just had to find a clever way to get her to take her pills. </SPAN></SPAN>
He stood in front of the door's little window, looking inside and hoping to see what mood she was in. She wasn't there. He knew this meant she was either under her bed or standing next to the door, hoping for a sneak attack. He took a breath before unlocking the door and entering, quickly checking the sides for in case. She wasn't there either so the only place was indeed under her bed. </SPAN></SPAN>
This could mean a few things. A, sneak attack. B, thinking she's a werewolf and the bed is her cave. C, She was trying to get away from her imaginary "friend" Bucky (whom was a vampire). D, none of the above. </SPAN></SPAN>
He closed the door and walking calmly he approached the foot end of the bed and stood there for a few seconds.</SPAN></SPAN>
"Joe?" he said cautiously, but got no reply. Option A was beginning to look like the right one. Still he bent down to take a peek underneath, and his face fell. He had not expected this one… </SPAN></SPAN>
There she was, lying down like, well, probably a wolf, tearing at her prey (which was the pillow) and feathers everywhere. He wondered if she had swallowed any. </SPAN></SPAN>
Carl reached out with his hand slowly to try and pry the pillow away from her, but she had been eyeing him and gave a warning growl. This was normal for Joe, but the feather eating couldn't be healthy and he had a job to do. </SPAN></SPAN>
He retracted his hand and said gently, "Now look Joe, I know you're having fun eating at your… prey, but it's time for your medicine." </SPAN></SPAN>
Joe merely continued her "feast" and sent more feathers floating about, paying him no mind. </SPAN></SPAN>
Carl sighed. Alright, time for creative thinking. She was in her werewolf fantasy world so he decided to improvise. As he took out the pill container he shook it gently and it got her attention. "Look, Joe! Rabbit flavoured treats. You like these, don't you?"</SPAN></SPAN>
It worked, he had her full attention. After shaking it one more time she spat out a feather half stuck in her mouth and eyes locked on the container moved hastily forward. Carl had to reverse quickly to avoid her grabbing at him to get to the pills. She was in high spirits now, making funny dog-like noises and the male nurse had to keep twisting about to keep the pills out of reach in case she swallowed them and choked. His height helped, but Joe was a clever girl and jumped on his back like a monkey. After their little struggle for control dance he finally decided enough was enough and with a commanding voice told her to stop. Hand in mid-grasp she looked at him surprised, and got down. </SPAN></SPAN>
"Now, sit on the bed." He said, and she did. He poured her a glass of water and gave it to her, plus one pill at a time to swallow. After every one was down, she looked up at him silently and said "Thank you." like the werewolf pretend had never happened.
