Dying Breath: Unveiling Secrets

Good News... Finally

Lindsay was in her room lying on her bed. She sighed. She picked up a pillow and hugged it so tight to where it could pop like it were a balloon. There was a knock at the door.

" Come in," she replied. She heard a clicking sound, and the door opened. It was Dr. Atkinson. He was holding a clipboard.

" I hope you're feeling a lot better since you've been on the road lately. Probably haven't had any good food or sleep or anything. Well, anyway that's not what I'm here to talk about. I have your results from the test. And there's good news," Dr. Atkinson flipped up a few pages on his notebook, and scrolled his eyes down the page, " your results are good. Not infected, 117/ 70, and blood seems to be fine." Lindsay looked confused.

" Is there any bad news?" Lindsay asked. He shook his head, " um, what's 117/70? It's a doctor term isn't it?" Dr. Atkinson looked at her.

" Yeah, it is. Um, 117/70 is your blood pressure. The 117 is the Systolic number, which is the amount of pressure in your arteries during the contraction, which is when your heart rests between beats. That number should be between 90 and under 120. The 70 is the Diastolic number, which is the blood pressure in the arteries between a contraction, rests between beats, and that number should be between 60 and under 80. The pressure in your heart is when the pressure of the arteries in the heart contracts between beats and the blood pressure is the pressure of the arteries in the heart that rests between beats and filled with blood." The doctor had a blank stare. Lindsay looked dumbfounded.

" So, basically, I'm healthy then?" Lindsay said. Dr. Atkinson nodded, "huh, you do learn something new every day."

He sighed and walked out of the room. Lindsay laid back down on her bed, then got back up. She walked over to the IV and inspected the buttons and contraptions. A few minutes later, she heard a scream. She was so scared, that she accidentally swiped her arm towards the IV, and the IV topped over, making a loud crash.

" Dang, it..." she quietly walked over to the door, opened it, and quietly closed it. She saw people gathering around the entrance, making noises that you could only think came from an undesirable creature. Derek ran passed her. She jogged over and tried to squeeze through the crowd. She excused people to move so she can get through. When she ended up in the front of the crowd, she saw Askova. Askova was standing with some random person. Both Askova and a person were bloody.

" What the-," Derek looked confused and looked straight at Askova. Askova looked back at him. She looked a little sad. Derek frowned a little.

" Um, hi. I'm Irma Bauer. And... I'm a deadly." Irma said quietly. Everyone stared at her.
