The old head nurse looked up idly from her crossword puzzle and said to her colleague, "Why don't you get the new girl to help you with the sponge baths."
"That's a good idea," The other old nurse replied, "I'll get done more quickly that way."
The other old nurse looked up from her tabloid magazine and barked, "Richelle, put that away and come here. We're going to get you started on something else."
A slim, slip of a girl, perhaps a hair past 19, balanced a mop up against the wall and pranced over to the older nurses. The young girl had full, long brown hair, with a slight reddish tint to it. Her mouth was wide, but not too wide for her face. Her face was pale, with two small ruddy spots just below her prominent cheekbones. Her eyes were dark blue, innocent, and surrounded by incredibly long lashes on both upper and lower lids.
The girl had the body of a gymnast. She was tall, about 5'7, but if she weighed more than a hundred pounds, it was not by much. Her limbs were slender; her waist was tiny; her posterior was small. She was wearing the standard white coat over her civilian clothes. Her shirt could not be seen, but her jeans where obviously dark blue and tight from the way they clung to her calves and lower legs. Even through the white coat, her small perky breasts were visible, defying gravity. It was as if, like in a Roadrunner cartoon, the physical principles of which her breasts were unaware did not apply to them.
"Yes," Richelle asked the older nurse.
"You're going to help me with bathing the patients tonight."
