The doctors all looked at the digital board.
“This is the new government tool to treat our patients,” Dr. Tabitha announced. The other physicians under her voice rolled their eyes. The sounds of disapproval rang around the room.
“It’s just like everything else in the government. The phones, the cars, everything has been ‘produced’ by the State. Now, we might not like it but this is the reality of the situation.”
“But everything is so ugly and ineffective,” Doctor Octavia Gummer pointed out.
“That’s our reality. More clunky mobile devices and vehicles are just the start. We have to fight.”

The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.

Heart of the Emerald Labyrinth
Dr. Evelyn Thorne trudged through the emerald labyrinth, her boots sinking into the damp earth.
