A middle-aged patient with his right arm fully wrapped in plaster was reclining in bed, peacefully absorbed in a novel. The white cast rested on a pillow, and he'd just reached what he swore was the best chapter when—

The door burst open. Another patient, his roommate who also had a broken arm came stumbling in, eyes wide.
"Get up! Get up, you have to get up!" He shouted breathlessly. "You won't believe what's happening outside!"
The man on the bed groaned, lowering his book just enough to glare over the edge.
"For heaven's sake, I'm getting to the good part. Can't whatever nonsense you're panicking about wait?"
"No, it can't!" The other insisted, grabbing his uninjured shoulder and tugging insistently. "Come on, you've got to see this! It's bat-shit wild!"
"It's...It's a once-in-a-lifetime sight!"
He leaned in with a rabid look on his eyes.
"Honestly, I still don't believe it myself, even after seeing it with my own eyes and I need you to verify it for me!"
