It is Tuesday evening which means Flash Fiction Foray Time with Matt the Book Blogger!
Check out his prompt post here.
The song this week, ‘A Bridge Over You’ by The Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Choir, released this Christmas, hoping to get to the Christmas #1 spot!
“There you go Mrs Smith, all nice and clean now! Sorry, what was that? Oh yes, I know, I hope your son will get over here this Christmas too. I’ll be here with you as well, don’t you worry. Oh, I can hear another bell, excuse me…
Yes, Mrs Jones, what can I…? Oh, yes I see, let me just adjust your pillow. I know it’s not the same as home, but I’ll try and make you as comfortable as I can… Sorry…”
Bell after bell…. Only one of her and sixteen demanding patients… Thank God she loved her job!
A tribute to our hard working nursing staff.

Five Minutes
Nothing…
All she could hear was nothing…
Well, muted sounds from outside, but other than that…
Nothing…
It was such a calming feeling, so good to feel at such peace, after the last few months. It had been such a hectic time.
To her it felt like she had not one moment to herself. Everyone wanted a piece of her. She was spent. Empty. Exhausted. Living for the others, not for herself.
It would be so easy, to lay like this, to slip down, to allow this peace to fully encompass her…
She lowered herself, just a little more, to see what it felt like, allowing the water from the bath tub to cover her eyes, her mouth, her nose.
After a moment, she sat bolt upright, catching her breath! What was she doing?
She tuned her ears again, she could hear the babble that was normal on the other side of the door, the children arguing, the baby crying, and her husband trying to be peacekeeper, but failing miserably.
Oh well, she guessed 5 minutes peace was more than she had had for a long time, and beggars can’t be choosers. She grabbed her towel, quickly dried herself, and wrapping her bathrobe around her, she opened the door.
