She stood in the middle of the hospital hallway and everything flowed around her as if she didn't exist at all. Almost everybody was going about their business, carefully moving passed her without acknowledging her in the slightest. She stared at them all as they came close to her, leaning towards them as they moved just that little bit faster to get away from her.
It seemed as though the only ones who could see her were the elderly or terminal, the ones who edged towards death and towards her. Some greeted her like an old friend, all happy smiles and eager kind words while some cursed at her and blamed their poor health on her existence. All the others looked on in confusion at the apparent not-so-empty space.
The few who leant into her open arms collapsed and died within minutes.
