HUMP DAY HOOK~12~

Welcome Hump Day Humpers!  This week's hook pick's up the morning after the meeting in the bar. Setup:  My heroine is hungover, can't remember the name of the handsome stranger whose bed she'd woken up in, is late for her first clinical, and is dragged into a room to assist a surgeon who has mistaken her for the nurse.  Poor Anne, the drama in her life is just about to spin out of control... 
 
As she approached, the scent of rotted flesh slammed into her nostrils.  The dry, whole grain bagel she'd choked down earlier sloshed around in her stomach.  The patient's belly looked like someone had sliced him from stem to stern, the flesh halved and gaped open.  The tissue within oozed yellowish puss and bilious fluid.  Anne wretched and squeezed her eyes shut, covering her mouth with her hand.  Don’t puke.  Don’t puke.  Don’t puke. Please God!  I will be a good girl from now on, just help me out here, would ya?  Prayers unanswered, she pivoted as her breakfast rushed from her stomach.  In her haste to escape, she bumped into a solid mass which loosened her grip from her mouth.  She clasped her arms around her waist as she bent and spewed her breakfast right there in the room.  A loud splat echoed off the tiled floor.

            "Hey!" A familiar male baritone exclaimed.

     Well, that's it! Hope you enjoyed! Don't forget to get the rest of your hump on with the rest of the fabulous authors participating in this week's #HDH here: http://kerriannecoombes.wordpress.com/hump-day-hook-participant-list/
Happy Humping!

the internet. You actually know how to bring an issue to light and make it
important. More people should check this out and understand this side of your
