"….."
Silence filtered across the room.
The doctor remained where it was, its gloved hands still folded on top of the desk as it quietly stared in my direction. It didn't say anything. It simply sat there, watching me through the small holes of its mask.
Tik! Tik!
The clock continued to tick.
I tilted my head a little further.
"Well…?"
The smile remained on my face.
"You've put me through a lot of trouble, doctor. Quite a lot of it, actually."
I raised my hand and began counting with my fingers.
"The appointments. The couple with the child. Now that I think about it, how is the child doing? Well, I'll check later. The ticking of the clock..."
I stopped and looked at the clock on the wall and frowned.
"Actually, that's still there."
Tik! Tik!
I lowered my hand.
"It's only right that you fix me."
The doctor still didn't respond.
I opened my mouth to continue before stopping. A thought suddenly crossed my mind, and I raised my finger.
