They called the girl "Ruddy", because she was never seen with a fair complexion, always glowing red on her cheeks. You can always find her on the beach, the sun transforming her light brown hair almost to a dirty blonde shade. There is an exception though, one day the beach missed her because of she got pink eye, an eye doctor prescribed her with some eye drops. Suddenly, she dropped her dreams of studying oncology, the study of tumors, to dig deeper into opthamology, so she can cure everyone's pink eye. She rushed home that day to remind her anemic mother to take her iron pills, and talk to her about her new dream. Her mother praised her for this new found dream, finally her congenitally blind husband can now be studied, and hopefully one day be cured by his own daughter Ruddy! Ruddy laid in bed that night, contemplating whether to pursue this dream, in retrospect, she looked back on her past dreams and realized she could do this! Borne away, she took the SunBus the following day to the Mayo Clinic where she could encounter professionals working. She strived to do everything her role models where doing. She enjoyed the sight of the utilitarian objects, such as injections being practiced on the eyes of clienteles. With the intent of taking the SunBus home, she was surprised to find the bus had left with out her. The dichotomy of the sky didn't bother her, due to it's radiant pink color for the sun was about to set, and the night sky was about to fall. Dander from the trees was falling in front of the path laid before her, she took a huff from her albuteral inhaler, and thought about the compounded dreams rushing in her head. She hoped that if she did decide to become a opthamologist, her spawn would unequivocally have a bright and wealthy future. She continued to walk on home and she noticed she couldn't be more in love with the sound the leaves were making, anthropomorphized, she spoke to the trees and told them about her future plans. Suddenly, a turtle crossed her path and it seemed to have been struggling to survive. Quickly, she took it to the vet. The veterinarian spoke words that would make anyone unhappy, "The turtles aorta has failed and it's in a coma." Ruddy's heart broke and she felt that not even sutures can repair it. The dire choice of euthanasia or life had been brought upon Ruddy and she chose life. Ruddy stayed at the vet all night, only to watch the life of this orphaned turtle depreciate slowly. Every second spent with the turtle had been appreciated. The Vet came in to the room and gave the turtle a shot. The vet's deductive reasoning had failed on him, because 2 minutes later the turtle passed on. It had been euthanized. Ruddy felt devastated because of the malpractice. Ruddy returned home, went on with her life and ended up studying oncology. Ironically, due to her over-exposure to the sun as a young child, she developed skin cancer. Fortunately, chemotherapy had made her healthier, and she's now a successful oncologist.
THE END.
