Hi Mr.W

I’m not trying to be provocative asking this, but please, what is the significance of ‘gratuitous gore’?
As an avid reader I’m a little embarrassed to say I’ve no idea what this means...
Thanks in Advance...

Minding My Own Business

It was a typical day of running errands. Hurry here, hurry there, never enough time to think a thought. Stopping by Shadyside hospital to get the petscan then off to Giant Eagle for groceries and home again before the evening hrs at my businesss. But again, the flashing, the feeling in the atmosphere should have alerted me but it didn't. Too many things on my mind.
I enter the lobby floor elevator and push the button for the 6th floor. Stopping on the second floor, I know Im going to be late. The door opens and the nurse rolls in an elderly woman on a hospital bed. I move to the corner to make room. I'm wondering what this poor soul has to go thru. The atmosphere changes again and there is a blinding flash..."Tell Margaret we are here" ,the angel says. No I can't I'm thinking. I can't say anything. The nurse will call for security or something. I shuffle my feet. Not now. Please not now, Im begging in my mind. "Tell her".
Excuse me, I know this is going to sound really weird but um I have to tell you something. There are two angels by your bed. One wants me to tell Margaret that they are here and not to worry. The angel said they wouldn't leave you and all will be well.
Snapping her metal patient file shut, and with seething in her voice, the nurse informs me that this patients name is Ann. With tear filled eyes, the patient slowly lifts her finger and whispers, "Wait"........
My conformation name is Margaret. If angels wanted to tell me something, they would call me Margaret. She smiles at me and whispers, "Thank you".
Oh good. It's the sixth floor. I hope I'm not too late. I need to learn to mind my own business.
