red short hair

it is early, the hospital bed is chilly, for there is only a duvet cover for a blanket. There hat been a warming device in place in the days before, this had warned not just the hand but the whole room.
Hence the need for lighter covers. And now that the noisy, unpleasant little machine has gone.
It is barely light, turn on the computer to read the news. Europe has got a large fascist presence now, local people who claim that their popular village politics are viable for a whole continent.

The night nurse comes in, her short hair dyed magenta, cheerful. She says" Sie sehen aber besser aus", agree tell her that things are much better. She is a happy cheerful person. Her work is with people who have had their hands operated. And with those who are incurable, the ones in the next ward. In the one ward, the people are sent back into life. In the other, that's it.
She is a cheerful big woman, she lets everyone feel that they are being cared for, and she has bright red short hair.
She loves her job.
Close the computer and go back to sleep.
