Then her eyes widened in terror.
“…105…. 105?”, she gasped, “…Oh my God, call the doctor, I gotta call the doctor and keep her in the bath tub…”.
The stranger stood up and walked toward the woman. She was still unseen. Of course she was. She stopped right beside her, watching her and her green eyes were full of compassion.
The woman was now flipping through the pages of an old notebook, frantically.
“Dr. Carter… 655…”, she whispered to herself, hastily, grabbing the receiver and dialing the number with shaking fingers.
“Shit…”, she hissed through gritted teeth after a handful of seconds, slamming the phone back on its support and running back to the bathroom.
The stranger followed her, silently. She leaned against the doorframe, her hands shoved in the pockets of her coat, and smiled slightly at the little girl in the bath tub. The water was hot, but she was still shaking.
The woman kneeled on the floor and stretched out her arms.
“Susan. Susie”, she called out, “Mommy says get up now”.
“Cold”, Susie replied under her breath. Her voice sounded thin and fragile, ready to break.
“I know”, the woman tried hard to sound calm and controlled, “Hang on”.
She took her into her arms and picked her up and Susie moaned in pain.
“Cold!”.
“I know”, the woman repeated, “It just feels cold because you’re so hot”.
She wrapped her into a towel and, right then, Susie fainted. Her skin was white, almost colorless. Her eyes still half-open.
“Susan… Susie, stay with me”, the woman moaned. And then, in a louder voice, “Susan! Susan!”.
”I am colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine…”

The paramedics converged around Susie. She was almost unconscious. Not completely awake, not completely gone, yet. Her body, almost weightless on the gurney, seemed tinier than usual. The small wheels of the gurney rolled on the green floor of the A&E unit.
The stranger sped up her pace and watched the girl with a smile that was reassuring. And sweet.
And Susie smiled back, feebly, and stretched out her tiny hand.
“Has she been disoriented?”, a paramedic asked hastily, “Confused?”.
Susie’s mother replied trying hard to hold back the tears.
