A Raindrop in the Ocean

The EMT worker

This is the second person to collapse this week. Ever since that boy dies this whole town is on edge. Everyone is tense and scared out of their wits. No one wanted to believe bad things could happen here and this is probably the most work I had her in a while. Everyone drives to the hospital so we rarely get a call. I mean don't get me wrong, the kid dying is awful, he was what sixteen, seventeen, around there. Way to young to be dead, but thanks to him I am not playing gin rummy and sipping beers in the hospital 's garage bored out of my damn mind.

I figured this chick must of been his teacher, took it hard with school back on and when she saw his empty desk just couldn't handle it. So she blacked out and a student freaked and called us. She is all fine, just fainted is all, but we have to take her all the way the hospital because they are gonna want to check her up anyway. She stirred, should be coming to soon, but still I wonder, why did this boy's death hit her so hard?
