                     For a Long While 
                This Nurse Had A Wish………
              But Will She Face Regret
                                Once She Has Obtained It…
                That One Dreadful Night,
                 On Her Birthday No Less,
            This Year Held No Time For Wishes.
                    This Day Turned Sour… 
                Cast Out Into The Afterlife,
                   As Soon As The Clock 
               Struck The Witching Hour.

She Still Pushed on, Delving Farther Into Her Work,  Almost As A Distraction. With Enough Work Put in, She Progressed Up The Ranks And Became A Matron Of The Base, Soon Being Granted The Privilege Of Having A Place To Herself. Even Still She Found Herself Begging The Universe To Let Them Reunite Once Again… Though She Didn’t Realize How Soon It Would Be, Nor The Violent Way In Which Their Longing For Each Other Would Be Contextualized.
            
            At First, She Couldn’t Even Tell He Was There, She Couldn’t See Him, But Odd Things Began Happening Within Her Home, Cabinets Left Open She Could’ve Sworn She Had Never Touched, Objects Lost That She Had Specific Places For, An Odd Electronic Buzzing, That Sounded Almost Displaced… Sounds, Where She Should’ve Been Alone.. She Brushed Them All Off, Until One Night, It Became A Bit More Consistent…. Almost Frantic…? The Sounds, Quiet Enough Not To Be Heard From Outside The Room, But Loud Enough To Wake Her.

            Soon To Be Pulled Into The Afterlife, Quite The Opposite Of Peacefully…
