    "For heaven's sake don't beat around the bush!" Grumbled the Doctor. 
    "Another freshy for you!" said the orderly. 
    "Please refrain from referring to them as freshies call them a dead person!" hissed the doctor. 
    "Ok another dead person!" said the orderly. 
    "Take me to them," the doctor demanded.

    "So sorry!" a reaper said walking out of the room. The doctor ran to the bedside of the dead person. 
    "Oh my god no," the doctor said weeping tears of blue electric fire which crystalized betraying his inhumanity to his colleagues.
