This isn’t the first time Mara’s been sitting in the waiting room of Prescott’s field hospital, once a linoleum-and-fluorescent lined elementary school hallway. It still feels distinctly like both, giving the place an air of wrongness. Mara’s never really liked hospitals, though, so she may be biased.
None of this is helped now by the fact that this is the first time Mara’s seen the hospital at capacity. Every room is full. People are even in cots in the hallway. Mara’s been here for hours and nobody’s had time to see her, which is becoming a problem. She’s always considered herself to have a high pain tolerance, but this is the kind of constant pain which makes her feel nauseous and dizzy.
She leans her head back against the wall and screws her eyes shut, silently willing the time to pass more quickly.
