The Doctor

The Time….

The figure, average in height, slender in built, in a brown colored, hooded, slim-fit jacket, with a fitting trousers and a pair of loafers on the figure feet….

He walked, strode casually along the corridor of the hospital, where there he was looking at families of patients, looking angry, worry, anxious, and some just plain exhausted as they slumped at the chairs or sofas at the hospital…. Doesn’t even seem to care or even aware of the figure that walks towards the door of the hectic emergency room, where baring code blue alarm was sounding and the figure saw doctors and nurses rushes in….

The figure just walk passes the opening made by the rushed medical team, and he walk slowly, just plain straight through the hectic room…

And yet no one seems too aware of the figure exitance, no one sems even to notice as the figure looked through an opening of the closed curtain and saw the medical team tries to save yet another live….

No one seems to realize the figure existence but the patient on the medical bed who screams in pain, as if he was afraid and fears of something….

“Give him another 5mg of heroin….” Said the doctor as the patient kept on screaming and through the oxygen masks…

No….! No….! Get away from me…! It hurts…! No…!

The medical team rushed to inject the man, not realizing the man was screaming in fear as the patient saw the slender figure though his face hid by the hood, the patient can sense that the figure was looking at him, and when the figure raises his head, the patient saw two golden bright cornea that started to glow brighter, and it blinded the patient who screams before slumped on the bed….

The pandemic did cause the number of souls of people who has their times up increases, but it doesn’t even bother the figure at all as the figure strode pass the busy medic team, trying to revive the dead patient and continue looking, peeking through the curtain to every bed at the hospital, and within fifteen minutes, the figure already sent another two souls where one of them scream in agony, begging, and the other was calm, as if he was ready for what he had to face behind the portal…. It’s only another Tuesday for the figure, since on many occasions the portal the figure unlocks will open and numbers of souls which comes from accidents or natural disasters passes it….

The figure then strode through another hallway, and then….

The figure turned his face and looked at the slightly opened door of a break room…. Something radiates from the room and it makes the figure opened the door and went inside and saw a young, beautiful woman, still in her white lab jacket, was sleeping…

She was seating, her face rested on her folded hand on the table in front of her….

Her face was showing sign of tiredness, but that tiredness still unable to hide her lovely, beautiful face, her jaw length hair was tied in ponytail, but some of her tousled hair covers her beautiful face….

The figure bowed and head tilted to see the beautiful face of the doctor closer, a hint of smile on the figure’s face as the doctor snores softly, showing how tired she was…

Too bad... She still so young… Said the figure, raising his hand to touch the back of the sleeping doctor when suddenly the figure heard a familiar, kind, yet authoritative voice….

Her time is not come just yet….

You will watch over her…. And your touch will be fulfillment of what she needed

A subtle frown appears at the face of the figure, yet the frown quickly disappears as the figure straightened up and then vanished to a thin air and the code blue alarm blares….
