The work she was assigned to today, despite the effort of hurrying to the bathhouse for a quick wash, was cleaning the operating room at the hospital.

There was blood everywhere, even outside the operating room, as if a mass slaughter had taken place. Dried blood was difficult to clean, but the pay was good accordingly. So, it was one of the jobs she preferred, even though she didn’t like it. A job she regretted after doing because the smell of blood wouldn’t leave her body for days.f6a810d1eaac6647
