Day 64: Intercom, Evening

[damned_intercom]

When the cheery jingle sounded over the speakers, the Head Doctor could be heard humming a song that suspiciously sounded like pieces of "Superstar" from today's movie. Then, as if realizing people were listening, he abruptly cleared his throat.

"Good evening, patients!" he greeted after a quick recovery. "I do hope everyone had a pleasant day. And what better way to end things than with a scrumptious steak dinner? We'll be including fries on the side, as well as offering our usual assortment of water, milk, and juices. Of course, we also carry vegetarian options for those of you who don't eat meat. Enjoy!"

The intercom turned off, leaving the nurses to escort patients to their rooms.

The day had been spent in relative solitude and never before had Tolten been so glad that Kratos was a quiet and private man. He had no desire at all for conversation, nor was he terribly interested in his steak. His nurse had given him something for his 'bug', but it had hardly helped.

It was strange, really. The young king thought he had surely reached his lowest and worst point somewhere between Gohtza and the Tower of Mirrors. But now, lying on his bed stripped down to his shorts due to a sweltering fever and trying to understand how to mourn, Tolten realized he hadn't even begun to sink to the depths of misery a man could.

What was going to become of them?
