ABSTRACT

Nick was sitting at his desk in his office working when all of a sudden his door swung open and banged against the adjoining wall. Loretta Lewis stomped into his office and placed her resignation on his conference table. “I’ve had it!” she said. “I can’t work like this anymore. I’m done! I quit!” Nick sat at his desk startled and speechless. A few seconds later, Sandy along with five other nurses barged in. “We quit too,” she announced, speaking for the group, as they each placed their resignation on top of Loretta’s. Nick was in shock; he looked at his doorway and saw a long line of people, all with their resignations in their hands. Each walked in and placed their individual resignations on his conference table. Eventually, the pile became so high that the documents began to spill over onto the floor. Suddenly, the building began to quake. Plaster was falling from the walls. Books were falling off his shelves, and the glass in the windows started shattering. Then, there came a blinding light. Nick sat up in bed with a jolt and saw Judy opening the drapes that blocked the sunlight, now entering the bedroom through the sliding glass doors at the foot of the bed. “Are you planning on sleeping all day, lazy bones?” she said with a smile. “Time to get up or we’re going to be late for church.”
