The door creaked open, revealing Serena and Nurse Sabrina Santos. "Arthur, my son," Serena announced, "your new nurse has arrived. Please be kind this time."
A cynical smile curved Arthur's lips. Sabrina was the twelfth nurse in four months—since the accident that had left him blind and with limited mobility.
The footsteps of the two women broke the silence of the dimly lit room. Lying in bed, Arthur clenched his fists beneath the sheets. Another intruder. Another pair of eyes to remind him of the darkness imprisoning him.
"You may leave, Mother," his hoarse voice cut through the air, heavy with impatience. "I need no one here."
Serena sighed, a weary sound that had become all too frequent. "Arthur, dear, you need care. Sabrina is highly experienced and comes highly recommended. Please give her a chance."
