Chapter Twenty-One

The two nurses’ aides peered nervously through room number sixty-seven’s open door.

“You take her blood pressure today,” the curly haired brunette said to her associate, “I did it yesterday.”

Her friend, a pale blonde, barely eighteen years old, tensed. “Okay… but you have to feed her lunch, then. I can’t stand how she looks at me!”

“Oh come on, the doctors say she can’t see.”

“I don’t care. She gives me the creeps. I wish she had never come to this nursing home.”

“I know. But they say she’s harmless. The stroke left her with about as much sense as a three year old.”

“Yeah, but a three-year old what?”

“Relax. She’s just an old lady.”

“She’s a witch. Witch Hazel.”

“That’s just little kids’ stories.”

“Have you ever heard her say her name? She sounds like an android. Her voice squeaks when she says ‘Hoof’stryver. She’s not normal.

“She never was normal. She always talked like that.”

“I still wish she wasn’t here. She gives me the creeps.”

The brunette sighed, shaking her head, handing over the blood pressure instruments. Her voice was ominous.

“Don’t worry. If what they say is correct, she doesn’t have much time anyway. It’s only a matter of days now.”
