It was a cold morning. Sun light was fleeting. Dark grey clouds, as raindrops poured down, covered the sky. Philip Bailey, waking up in a hospital bed, didn’t recognize his surroundings.
“Nurse,” said Bailey. “Where am I?”
“You are in Croydon University Hospital,” Nurse Mildred Ratched said. ”Are you feeling any better?”
“Confused would be a good word,” Bailey responded. “I don’t know how I got here. Everything is a blur.”
Ratched, listening to her patient, paused for a moment before addressing Bailey.
“You were found unconscious on London Road,” Ratched said. “Dr. Martha Jones will be with you shortly.”
