The Teddy Bear

At the ER, DOA, they had person to go flat line and Dr. Glenn the attending doctor had no choice but to prep the girl for post mortem. The girl did not survive, she was brought to the hospital emergency room dead on arrival, witnesses say, the car she was in earlier met a tragic accident that had put an end to the life of the driver and herself.

Dr. Glenn brought the girl into the Morgue Section, wiped off all the dirt and took the teddy bear that has been cuddled all the way by the girl, she covered the girl with white sheet, she placed the teddy bear on the instrument table and went to the sink to clean some soiled instruments when she suddenly heard the table move, she looked back but nobody was there, she noticed that the teddy bear was gone, she looked at the girl still covered with white sheet and was shocked to find the sheet bulging on the thoracic region, something is under the sheet other than the girl's body, shaped like a teddy bear. She moved close to the bed and slowly lowering the sheet then finally abruptly took it off, but nothing was there except the dead girl's body, her arms still straight on the sides, legs non flexed, and eyes closed, she looked back and saw the teddy bear on the instrument table, seemed unmoved, puzzled, she thought maybe she's just seeing things due to stress.

She went home later that night about 1 am, she had a shower, and prepared for bed, she was about to sit on the bed when  all the lights suddenly shuts off, she took her penlight from her medical suit and went to check for the main switch which is about 4 feet higher than her so she got a stool to stand on, but it so happened that the stool's leg is rotten and finally broke when she stepped on it, she fell to the ground and bumped her head, she felt dizzy and saw her dark surroundings swirling. Before she passed out, she saw a black image just standing at a distance, then she blacked out. She was suddenly awakened and found herself on a hospital bed. She was calm for she knew what had happened earlier, she checked her wristwatch and was surprised to find the time exactly the time she went home, suddenly the lights begun to flicker until finally it went off.

Everything seemed to be silent, she looked around and noticed a dark image on a corner, getting closer and closer, she felt goosebumps as the dark image went up the bed but then she felt a soft hairy thing as the dark image placed something just above her breast, then she abruptly woke up. It was just a nightmare, but still found out that she's still on a hospital bed, a doctor beside her checking her chart greeted her and asked if she's feeling okay which she did answered, then she asked the doctor if there are new admitted patients and if it's okay for her to proceed to the doctor's quarter to get dressed. The  doctor was puzzled by her statement and said, "I'd better check your MSE, it might suggest some complications brought by the car accident", Dr. Glenn was also confused and said, "wait, car accident? I fell from a chair and hit my head It was not a car accident", the doctor told her that she was brought to the hospital about 4 hours ago, unconscious but stable. The doctor continued, "The impact must have something to do with your mental status, miss, you're not a doctor, neither are you working here, and I'm sorry to inform you but your daughter didn't make it. I have her  teddy bear at your bedside, must be the only thing left from her here. I'm so sorry", then the doctor went out.

Glenn who was not actually a doctor realized that she has been dreaming all the time, but that moment when she received the girl at the ER to the Morgue seemed real and as if it just happened  earlier, the time she logged off duty and went home, the lights, the stool, the black image, everything seemed to have happened. She took the teddy bear, looked at it for a long time then suddenly, she remembered everything, she was driving her car, her daughter beside her, they were returning from a vacation when they met an accident on the road way to their house, the last scream she heard from her child was, "mommy!", she burst into tears and can't accept all the events, all this time, the black image, her daughter was trying to wake her up.,
