Strangers in the Night: 2
It was about then that I noticed the date on the magazine, March 22, 1902.
The girl in the sweater came back in the room, picked up her magazine from the floor ... she was wearing an extremely short skirt and it lifted when she bent over. a simple single red ribbon snuggled in the crack of her ass ... it blossomed out to an almost ... but not quite ... transparent wisp of silk that attempted to hide her nether lips.
One thing for sure ... this is not MY earth ... not in 1902... 1999 maybe ... but not 1902. It's not Michigan either ... she'd freeze to death dressed like that in March. March is cold enough to crumble her cookie.
"Hello," I croaked.
Magazine and chair went flying and so did she.
Out the door she went screaming, "Sairaanhoitaja! Sairaanhoitaja! Hän on hereillä!"
I understood every word ... yeah ... right.
A very shapely older woman burst through the door ... she was obviously a Nurse ... White blouse and shirt, white stockings, ridiculously high white heels. Absolutely zero undergarments ... no lines. She leaned over the bed and said, "Sisar kertoi minulle olette hereillä. Tarvitsetko vettä?" She held a glass and bendy straw.
Hmm ... I don't think she'd be offering me Vodka ... but is it water? In for a penny ... in for a pound. I nodded.
It was water. Odd taste though. I was asleep in seconds.
Some time later, I awoke to a man leaning over my bed ... he had the accoutrements ... the paraphernalia accumulated in the normal performance of ones occupation. The black bag with assorted implements of the profession ... the stethoscope one used to see doctors carry ... a hospital badge of identification clipped to the white coat of a physician and I took him at his look.
"Hello, Doctor?" That's what I said ... but it came out, "Heippa, ennen kuin olet keskustellut lääkärin kanssa."
"Ah, vanhaa toteamusta ... joitakin muutoksia." he fiddled with one of the machines attached to the bed. I was asleep again ... and I didn't want to be.
It seemed seconds and I was awake. I could read the machines ... the doctor said, "We made some adjustments ... you are Finn?"
