    nibbled on his lower lip, seemingly desperate to find the right words, only feeding my everlasting panic. After a while, he finally mumbled something about getting the doctor. "Stay put, I'll get him," he said, getting up, and then disappearing through the door. The waiting was horrible. I was alone in that room, still strapped to the bed, unable to move. The characteristic smell of antiseptic flooded my nostrils. I tried to remember the picture I had seen in the mirror; my face, patched up much like an Egyptian mummy, actually. What did that mean? What was I to find under the bandages? How bad would it really be? How much damage had my face taken? Dad came back a few minutes later together with the doctor. The doctor placed his glasses on the tip of his nose so he could check my record through his glasses, and look at me through his naked eyes. He sighed. Dad sat back to the chair right next to my head,, and gently took my hand again. "Doctor Carsen, can we please remove those straps, I think she's calmed down," I heard Dad say. Doctor Carsen nodded, put the record down, and took his pager. "Yes, that'd be better for Ms. Page," he said while dialing a number on his device, "I'll get sister Miller, because you're not allowed to do this, Mr. Page – for sanitary reasons."

I can't see what bad can come from showing her already – apart from an even deeper trauma, that is.” Oh, how I hated that doctor's sarcasm. I guess being surrounded by death, disease, and purulent wounds all the time makes you numb to these impressions. The nurse cautiously removed the compress off my face. Despite her great efforts not to hurt me, she still did. I knew she didn't do it on purpose. An even odder sensation than the one that was haunting my very being crept up my back as I felt the complete absence of the compress, but my right eye still failed to record any picture. The doctor handed me the mirror. He had to close my fingers around it as I would not do it myself, paralyzed by an oppressive feeling of emptiness. Slowly, I lifted the mirror to my functional eye, and gave in to my curiosity while my heart was pounding up my throat. Bad mistake. The sight of my severely burnt right face side instantly caused waves of nausea. A large wound extended from my neck all the way to my forehead. A picture flashed through my memory. The initial blast that had flung me through the entire lab had laterally hit my face before I could react, and shut my eyes. My head being the only uncovered body part had suffered the full heat wave. If you're asking about safety goggles: I ...
