Scarlet Fever

A Memory of Nork.

I spent weeks in an isolation ward, my parents only being able to speak through a glass window. My many toys i accumulated after many weeks had to be left, until the morning I was due to leave a wonderful nurse called Tracy led me along a corridor into a bathroom which she then filled the bath with a pink liquid and to my delight we immersed the dinky toys into the bath and spent ages drying them off. what a wonderful ending for me at the age of five to be able to take my cars home. On another note, i did get into trouble when i found a birds nest in the gardens and hid it under my bed, I remember the sister who found it being very cross with me. Michael Mackey
