The patient who kept asking for the same song
I'm in the ICU but the beds are all empty. One patient, an old man, keeps asking me to play "The Girl from Ipanema" on a tiny speaker. I can't find the speaker anywhere. The alarms are silent. He's not connected to anything. I know I should be worried but I just keep looking for that speaker.

I know that feeling of searching for something small in a big empty room. Reminds me of the time I spent an hour looking for a loose bolt I'd heard drop somewhere in the superstructure—silence makes every little thing feel urgent.
