When the bombs were dropped we were told to expect low incoming patients. Initial reports indicated that the exothermic impact would vapourise 98% of organic matter within a fifty mile radius.The worst part of the primary attack wasn't the bombs dropped, wasn't knowing that our diplomats had been useless wasn't knowing that there was nothing we could do but wait.
The worst part of the initial attack was the survivors.
By all accounts they should have died months ago yet here they are taking up entire wards. It's not that there are many of them, not exactly. Most of them only have two or three speaking heads and are only counted as being two or three people despite the sheer mass of fused flesh that they are.
We gave up trying to fit them onto beds and instead lined mattress in a squarish shape to accommodate all of their limbs that still responded to temperature and pain, even if the main living heads couldn't feel it themselves.
