The head nurse at the hospital on Punchbowl Street was visibly annoyed when she realized that the new nurse on the overnight shift appeared to be half listening to her instructions. There was a desk that separated the two in the main hallway and the young girl was visibly distracted by something.
“Are you even listening to me?” The head nurse raised her voice; glancing at the young nurse she saw that her name tag said, "Rosa"
“My toe, it’s too tight on my toe,” the girl’s voice was flat and tepid.
“What?” The head nurse shrieked.
‘My toe,” the girl repeated herself. “It’s too tight on my toe,” she was pointing toward her feet now.
The head nurse came around the desk to see what the problem was. The young nurse was barefoot, and on her big right toe was a toe tag with a name on it, “Rosa Telfio” the same name that was on her uniform. The head nurse was dumbfounded for a second and was about to scold the young Filipino girl for being out of uniform. Looking at the toe tag again, the head nurse saw that everything else was blank except for the cause of death. It was listed as a suicide. The place of the suicide was in the very spot where they stood. A second later, the young nurse vanished into thin air, a second after that, the quiet hallways of the hospital were filled with the horrible screams of a head nurse who had been on the job for much too long.
