Story · Thursday · 2:50 PM · Falls Health Clinic · front desk

Eight people are in the waiting room — a mother with a toddler, two of Walt's old mill buddies, a woman you recognize from the co-op. Irene's booked through 4:30. Denise stepped out to the pharmacy next door ten minutes ago.

Walt is at the desk, gripping the edge of the counter harder than the counter needs gripping.

Walt · Patient, regular

I need to see somebody. Now, if that's possible.

His voice is too loud for how close he's standing. A couple of heads turn.

Walt · Patient, regular

It's my heart. I think — I don't know. I can't breathe right and I'm scared, and I hate saying that out loud but there it is.

His eyes are wet. He's aware of the room behind him and hating that too.
