Amanda was in surgery while Molly and Colleen both lay unconsious in the beds of their shared room. But while Molly lay in seemingly peaceful sleep, Colleen murmered, twisted around under the sheets, and began calling out the names of her fallen potentials.
I reached out a comforting hand, and placed it on her arm as she woke. She sat upright in bed, wincing slightly, and squinted around the room.
"Lay back Colleen." I instructed, and she did so. "You are in the hospital. Molly and Amanda are here too." I said in an attempt to calm her, although my words did little to ease her troubled face. I hardly knew where to begin. I looked to the others for help.
