Chapter 1;MY DREAM PLACE

(It's hot and sunny as the summer sun shone bright out of the sky.Steven and undergraduate medical student of the Warwick university finds his way to town for his internship....)

"wow!..it's quite farther than I thought",he exclaims standing in front of the Presbyterian Teaching Hospital with his files neatly arranged and enclosed in his briefcase held on his left hand, as he walks up into the hospital.His brown shoes well polished, matching his grey coloured suits and trousers as his long curly hair swong left and right while he walked with elegance..."Welcome back to TLN News today, the headlines". Steven always being curious turned towards the large screened hisense television hanging on the wall left from his direction,the news continues..."There was a fatal accident which took place at the southern Main bridge of nothingham county as reports have it, there were two deceased and three severely injured"....,he takes his eyes off the screen as he walks through the unconcerned crowd of staffs and regular people each heading for their places of duties. He goes to the cubicle there at the reception,.."Good day I'm Steven!, Steven Williams",as he gives off a light wave to the black skinned nurse seating in the cubicle with her glasses reflecting the writings on her monitor screen she was staring at while pressing the buttons of her keyboard...

"Good day sir",she replies raising her head to Steven,"how may I help you?",uuhm!!..., Steven slowly responds carried away by the dazzling look of the hospital's interior design.. "uuhm..., yeah! yeah!!, I'm here to see Mr Rogers, the general manager, I guess?"..one sec,she replied to him who wasn't done with staring around the room, she picks up her phone and calls his office line, there was no response asides a melodies country song played on the call hold."hello!".. a voice comes out from the phone, "hello sir, someone is here by the name Steven Williams,he says he's got an appointment with you sir"..,"ok let him in"..,ok sir , She drops the call and turns to Steven, "you're up sir..,"thanks ,but direction please, I'm new here?"..oh!, you'll head for the second floor ,three rooms from the elevator on the left side of hallway. "Ok thank you Mrs Helen he says staring at the name tag on her left breast pocket ,"My pleasure sir"she replies with her eyes still focused on the PC screen before her.He walks towards the elevator and hits the button on the elevator door,he gets into the elevator as he unconsciously kept on rehearsing the directions again and again "three rooms left side"....

He hits the buttons to the second floor and sooner there was a bing....

The elevator door opens up to the second floor as he strolls down the hallway unconsciously rehearsing the same whisper ,he stops at a dark brown oil painted door with an indication on its lintel that spelt "GM" supposed to be an acronym for General manager.He takes a deep breath as he knocks on the door, "come in!.." a loud voice that seemed to be obstructed by the steel door replied.

He whines the door handle and gets into the pale peach painted office as he was offered a seat by the short and chubby bald headed man who was likely to be In his early fifties,.."thank you sir, Good day sir I'm Steven Williams from Warwick university I'm here!".... "Yeah! yeah.. I know" Mr Rogers, interrupted right after taking a sip of the coffee he had just prepared a few seconds before Steven's arrival,...."the management got a call from them already and I'm aware of your coming and your internship programs.., your credentials?" He asks stretching out his hands to Steven as Steven struggles with his briefcase zip,he let's out the transparent envelope enclosing his documents and stretches it to the General manager.

There is sudden silence in the room as Steven stared nervously at the man who gave several facial expressions while looking through each sheet ushered out of the envelope,...."I see you're quite a smart fellow after all, your grades are quite impressive",.."thank you sir", Steven chuckles as he gave off a slightly noticeable smile. "I see!.. uuuhm! You'll be reporting on the aahh"... He slowly responds while flipping through the pages of his table calendar, "seventh!"he continues "you'll resume on the seventh Steven", ok sir thanks I'm grateful Steven responds . He's up and leaves the office, to the elevator, through the reception and out of the hospital just as he entered.He walks down the road as the distanced sound of a blowing siren approached closer and closer as he took further steps down the road.

Approaching the speeding ambulance van , escorted by two tinted glassed Honda Civics, Steven with the heart of chicken was stirred up with the imagination of what the situation as he curiously turned to take a look at the van packing right in front of the hospital he just stepped out of a while ago.

The paramedics rushed out with a stretcher having a young man laid down on it, with a severe bruises and injuries , whom Steven thought to have been a victim of the earlier reported accident on the news.

Memories flash through his head on sighting the scenery, memories he never wished to remember. He stands from a distance staring at the scene with his heart melting for the victim who he felt was not going to make it out alive ,he turns and begins his stroll down the road to the train station a couple of miles ahead. He goes down the stairs and was heading for the already approaching train, like it was waiting for him all along.
