Noxious fumes flowed underneath the laboratory door. Dr. Ephraim was at his concoctions again, and he'd let the entire waiting room know. Patients coughed and wheezed as they waited to see the doctor, wondering if they weren't just better off enduring their sickness at home.
Eventually, Dr. Ephraim emerged in a cloud of thick green smoke, exclaiming his discovery of a new remedy. He gave each of the patients a sip of the bright green liquid he held in his hand. After several moments, each patient's mouth swirled in an exaggerated spiral, their eyes rolled around in their heads, and their hair twisted up, ending with a loud pop from their ears. Each of them in turn felt completely better.
They thanked the doctor and went along with their day.
"Mary will bill you by the end of the month" Dr. Ephraim whispered as the last of the patients exited his office. Then he cackled the most sinister cackle, and Mary simply saw to her work at the desk, not wanting to bother the doctor mid-cackle.
