BY NOON, WALKER HAD scratched her name on a hospital release form and initialed six times while a nurse frowned at her from behind her station.

Linda held Walker’s clothes in a sports bag and shook her head. “Are you sure you feel okay?”

“Stop doing that, Linda. If everyone who experienced a moment of vertigo reacted in the same way, the entire country would have to stop because everyone would be in a hospital.”

Walker sat in a wheelchair, as per hospital policy, and her sister pushed her down the brightly-lit hallway, which resembled the temporal complex in the far future.

“Sorry about snapping at you back there.” Walker rummaged through the sports bag, checking the condition of her clothing. “The medications can screw with your temper. You’re a good sister, and when the awards ceremony is over, I’m taking you out for dinner at the finest restaurant in Seattle.”

Linda patted her shoulder and stopped the wheelchair before the automatic doors. “Don’t worry about that, and besides, most of the downtown restaurants are very expensive. Mom and I are so proud of what you’ve done for people all over the world.”

Walker gave a sour smile. Yes, everything I’ve done. She shook her head, dismissing the unpleasant thought, and started pulling clothing out of the sports bag. Her searching became frantic until she pulled out her harness, which had been cut in half. She slumped back into the hard-plastic folds of the chair as the doors slid open. My harness. Those idiots! What am I going to do now?

Linda looked down at the destroyed garment. “Don’t worry; we can buy another one. It’s only a sports bra.”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. We need to stop at home. There are some items I need to pick up before we go to the hotel.”
