The hospital was in complete disarray after the announcement went out. What should've been an orderly evacuation quickly dissolved into a pushing and shoving match between patients and staff. Nurse Tuesday tried to navigate the chaos as best she could but was soon reminded that she was vertically challenged.
"Why do I have to be so darn short?!" She asked herself. Her little brother always used to poke fun at her size.
Speaking of, she hoped he was alright. She hadn't heard from him or anyone else outside of the hospital for that matter. If it was complete pandemonium inside then it must be hell outside. The giants had free reign to move as they pleased and destroy whatever they liked.
"I need to get out of here!" She told herself. She repeated the words like a mantra as she tried to find an exit.
Unfortunately for her, she was pushed and shoved in every direction as people panicked. She even tried calling out but her voice didn't carry over hundreds of people yelling and screaming. Eventually she felt a hand on her arm and the owner pulled her to the back of the crowd as he fought his way to the front.
Nurse Tuesday wanted to scream but then remembered the back exit. Everyone was so focused on crowing the front doors that they mostly forgot about it. It was mostly used by ambulances and if she were lucky she might just find one with the keys still inside. If not then she would run as fast as her heart could carry her.
"Please let there be a vehicle!" She really didn't want to have to run with the giants so close.
She could see the lights above flicker and hear the sounds of cries and screams mixed in with shattered glass and bending metal. She shut her eyes and turned to sprint down the halls. She ignored cries for help and the patients that were too injured to escape on their own.
"I'm sorry." She mentally apologized but no oath was worth dying for in her mind.
As she finally reached her destination she quickly scanned the area for a vehicle. As fate would have it there were a few cars present and even two ambulances. She was about to make a break for it before noticing one crucial detail. She wasn't the only one present, someone else was here, her boss, Doctor Christian Horn.
She spotted him just getting into his car which turned out to be a white 1957 Ford Thunderbird. Without giving it a second thought, she ran towards it right as the engine started to rev. The good doctor was about to make a clean getaway before she drove right in front of the headlights.
"Wait!" She shouted.
The car didn't move, all she could see was the terrified visage of the man inside. He wasted little time in rolling down his window to stare at the nurse blocking his path.
"What the hell are you doing?! Get out of the way!" He exclaimed.
