Scary Nurse

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Scary.’ See more responses here.

I saw this in a local Halloween window display and imagined her as a real nurse entering my hospital room. Possible conversations soon followed.

“You say you had the same wrist surgery as I’m going to have! How did it go?”

“So you have my test results. How do they look?”

“How much blood do you need to draw?”

“Nice to hear you like giving your patients a hand.”

“Oh, you don’t use a machine to take x-rays.”

Jalousie windows, or louvered windows, are quite common in Hawaii. The old versions provide good ventilation, but aren’t great for keeping out rain, bugs, or people! I believe newer models are better in that regard. What I like about them is the interesting reflections they offer.
