The Woman From Hell

There was a wave of uneasiness in my heart. The smell seemed to be coming from the bathroom. Shannon and I rushed in together.

The smell permeated the small bathroom. At a glance, we saw Nina leaning against the wall. Her right arm was hanging toward the ground, and the ground was covered with blood. "Hurry up and call an ambulance." I looked back at Shannon and hurriedly shouted.

We sent Nina to the hospital. Fortunately, we found her early. Otherwise, she would have died of excessive blood loss. The doctor concluded that she might be experiencing symptoms of depression and hence, suggested it be best if we took her to see a psychiatrist.
