2. Last Day
I used to work as a nurse in an old people’s home. I had great contact with one of the little old ladies there. One night, after having helped her get to bed I said, “Good night, see you tomorrow”, knowing I was coming in the next morning.
“Oh no”, she said merrily, “I don’t think we’ll see each other tomorrow”.
It felt kind of off and I went home feeling strange about it. When I came in to work the next morning she had died peacefully in her sleep, no more than a few hours after I’d left her.
