The nurse is a tall pretty girl. Tonight, she has no name. She holds up imaginary bottles of pills and setting them down. She pretends to concentrate and looks absorbed. The patient is lying in bed, drunk and puzzled. The room smells like old paint and dryer sheets. The nurse drops an invisible pill bottle and bends over slowly to collect it. Her butt bends in a stretch. When she stands up she turns around and unbuttons one of her buttons. The patient moans. The nurse smirks and asks the patient, “Are you feeling any better?” and the patient looks at her and coughs half-heartedly. He says, “I feel very weak.” The nurse rolls her eyes and says, “I think I know how to cure you” and climbs onto the hospital bed which feels too wide to be a real hospital bed. The patient tries to cough more convincingly and rubs his eyes. He watches the nurse is taking off a padded bra that the patient thinks he recognizes. This makes him feels less awkward and immediately more like himself. The bra falls onto the bed and the nurse shakes her tits at the patient. The patient tries to not recognize their shape and looks in a different direction. She says, “Feeling any better?” and the patient nods. He begins to feel jealous that the nurse seems more engrossed in this situation than he does. He feels confused and wonders why he is feeling these feelings. The nurse drops onto the bed and bites the patient’s neck the same way the patient’s girlfriend bites his neck. The patient wonders if he is committing some bizarre form of psychological adultery. He wonders whether or not the nurse feels she is cheating on someone in the same psychological way. The patient pushes the nurse back the way his girlfriend likes and he tries to think about what he can do differently. The nurse rocks in a manner that is familiar to the patient and when she comes her legs lock they way his girlfriend’s do and he lets her finish the same way he lets his girlfriend and when the nurse asks “Did you feel that?” the same way his girlfriend does, he rolls over and comes himself but onto instead of into. This is the only real variation the nurse and the patient have perfected and feel comfortable with. All they can do is pretend.
