Cipro For Sale
Short Fiction by Kim Fissel published in Vol 3 Issue 2
Cipro For Sale, It had been a hard morning for Donny. He’d been woken up at four a.m. by a fourteen-month-old screaming for her bottle. Instead of padding down the hallway herself, his wife Joy shoved him out of bed, mumbling about it being ‘his turn.’ So he stumbled into the kitchen, grabbed a bottle out of the fridge and warmed it in the microwave, then headed off for Nicole’s crib.
He cracked open the door, muttering a prayer under his breath that Marion hadn’t woken up. As the light from the hallway wandered across the room, Marion sat up in bed, with a gentle smile on her sweet three-year-old face, Cipro For Sale.
“Go back to bed, honey, it’s too early to be awake yet,” he said. Truer words were never spoken.
Marion shook her curly-haired head and chewed on her teddy bear’s ear. In the crib beside her, Nicole screeched like a banshee. Cipro For Sale, Donny scooped her up, cradling her in his arms and stuffing the bottle into her screaming maw.
As Nicole finished the bottle, dawn began to peer into the girls’ bedroom, and Donny could feel Marion’s gaze wavering, ordering Cipro online. Finished with Nicole, he laid her back in the crib and returned to Joy, who in his absence had spread across the bed, the blankets and sheets conspiring to hide her seven-month pregnant girth from view.
Shuffling across the rug he gently slid into bed, tugging the blankets and Joy towards him. She mumbled in her sleep and her arm fell over his chest where it belonged. The morning light began to filter in through the drapes, but it held no sway on Donny, who drifted back to sleep, Cipro For Sale.
In the kitchen Joy bounced Nicole on her hip while Marion threw her blue plastic plate to the floor. A red cup and green cutlery quickly followed. The telephone rang a few times before Joy could get to it.
“Yes. Cipro For Sale, Hello?” Joy said as she used her free hand to scramble Don’s eggs.
“Oh, hey Joy, is Don there?” It was John, Donny’s boss. “We… kinda need him to come in today.” He sounded apologetic, at least. The family had plans for the day; they were going to the park. Joy weighed the possibility of simply telling John ‘no, Cipro price, coupon, ’ but he wouldn’t be calling unless it was important.
With a sigh she said, “Sure, John, one sec.” She turned to go wake Donny, but saw him instead pick up the phone in the bedroom, Cipro For Sale.
“Hello. John, that you?” Don’s voice was hazy with sleep, and Joy could hear his hesitation. She hung up and went back to the frying pan, now belching black smoke.
“I know Don, I know, but I’ve called everyone. Cipro For Sale, No one will work with him, and I can’t put him out just by himself, and there’s no way in Hell I’m keeping him here at the station,” a wheedling tone had crept into John’s voice, “so what am I supposed to do, huh. Assign him to do triage at Burnaby General. The nurses will toss him out in a heartbeat. Hell, they might just have him committed again!”
“You’re actually asking me to volunteer to work with Cyrus the damn Psycho. The guy is insane. With that damn piece of paper of his, Cipro For Sale. ‘How do you know you’re sane?’ Know what I said, John. After an hour. I don’t damn well know. Then he pulls out that damn piece of paper and shows me that he’s ‘sane’. Cipro For Sale, Bull. There’s no way, rx free Cipro, John, no damn way!” Donny shuddered at the idea. The Psycho burned through partners faster than any other paramedic in the service.
“Listen, Don, you’re the last one on the list and you’ll get time-and-a-half for it if you do this. I just have no one else to assign and no other choice, I’m backed into a corner here, man.” A siren screeched in the background over the phone. “Don, Cipro For Sale. Will ya do it, Don. How about double time. Look, I’m screwed if you say no!” John’s panic tore Donny away from the pleasant dream of sleep.
He sighed. Cipro For Sale, “Fine, John, you got me. You owe me huge for this.” He stretched his neck and rotated his shoulders against the hard wood headboard. John wouldn’t offer double time unless he was completely screwed, and it would definitely help with the new fridge.
“Your shift starts in forty-five so get your ass in gear!” John bellowed across the phone line as yet another siren started up in the background. Cipro results, “And Don. Thanks.”
Donny lumbered into the kitchen to find slightly burned scrambled eggs, warmed bread masquerading as toast, and cold coffee waiting for him, Cipro For Sale. Kissing Joy’s cheek as he passed her, he sat down across from Marion, who was squirming in her high chair.
“Are you going in?” Joy asked. She settled into the seat beside him, and started feeding Nicole.

“It’s kind of an emergency,” Don grunted, covering his eggs in ketchup while munching on a slice of pseudo toast. Cipro For Sale, “You’re a paramedic,” she said with a smile, “if it’s not an emergency then you’re out of a job.”
They both chuckled at the thought.
“He said that he’d make it double time.”
She looked up. A grin appeared on her face as she began calculating the amount they could put towards a new fridge. Donny grinned smugly at Marion who smiled bewitchingly at her father. The thought of his shift with the Psycho made him sigh and his grin dissolve.
“What’s wrong?”
“My shift is with Cyrus the Psycho,” Donny grumbled, pushing his remaining eggs about with the pseudo-toast, Cipro For Sale.
“You’ve survived it before,” Joy offered gently, tilting Nicole’s head slightly.
“I know. It’s just…the guy is fu-” Joy skewered him with a warning look. “I mean he’s unbalanced, he’s nuts, Cipro for sale, he’s…he makes me worry about my future if I stay with it like he has.”
She smiled, and kissed his forehead as he rose from his chair. Cipro For Sale, Donny had a quick shower, and then rushed for the door in his unwashed uniform. The wrinkles from the laundry bin were very evident, as was that worn-for-one-shift-too-many smell.
Traffic across town to the station wasn’t as bad as it could have been on a nice sunny Saturday, but he was still fifteen minutes late getting in. Donny wondered if this might be an omen as to how the day with the Psycho would go.
He found the station’s madman in unit 398, reading a newspaper article on a local town meeting. Donny caught a glimpse of the title as Cyrus tossed it onto the dashboard, Cipro For Sale.
“Hey, Cyrus, looks like Gerry called in sick so I’m riding with you today.” Donny held out his hand, thinking it didn’t hurt to be nice to the crazy bastard as they were stuck together.
Cyrus gave him a vacant look. It made him feel like Cyrus was picturing what he would look like without his skin on. Donny shuddered and he fought to keep his face friendly. Cipro For Sale, Everybody knew about Cyrus. He was a lifer in the ambulance service — he’d been there since before Donny’s first day on the job. However, after half a career of seeing things even a person with a vast vocabulary would simply describe as ‘fucked up’, Where can i order Cipro without prescription, one day he just snapped. He was out on a call when he just lost it. His patient was sent to Vancouver General, he was sent to Riverview. Eventually they released him, but it was around the same time that budget cuts were happening across the board, Cipro For Sale. They were kicking out all but the ‘critical need’ patients just to save a little money. So no one really knew whether the guy was sane or just sane enough. As a result, he carried around a little piece of paper that stated, for the record, how he was ‘Successfully rehabilitated and deemed fit for reintroduction to society’. He carried it in his wallet and showed it to just about everyone he met after asking them how they knew they were sane. Cipro For Sale, Cyrus grinned at him, his face shifting so quickly that Donny jumped back in surprise. Cyrus grabbed his hand and shook it.
“Heya partner, ready to go out and save some lives?”
“Sure, sure let’s go, huh?” Donny muttered as he stepped up into the ambulance, sitting as far from Cyrus as possible, unconsciously of course.

The first few hours of the shift were as peaceful and quiet as one could expect for a spring Saturday in Vancouver. They dealt with the usual: broken bones, lacerations, Cipro schedule, and heart attack calls, nothing serious or strange. To the untrained eye Cyrus seemed competent, professional and… well… sane, Cipro For Sale. It wasn’t until they stopped for lunch, Chinese takeout, that the shift started to get weird. A call came over the radio just as they were served their wonton soup.
It was a jumper on PCP who believed he could fly and was determined to prove it. He stepped off the edge just as they arrived, landing a few feet away from the unit. Cipro For Sale, Depending on how you wanted to spin it, he was a lucky son of a bitch. The building wasn’t high enough for the landing to kill him, but just high enough to shatter a bone or two. Which is why he was able to get up on his broken leg and try again. Donny took a hit to the jaw from the idiot and Cyrus had to wrestle him onto the stretcher while Donny tied him onto it. The guy was biting and cursing, screaming that he could fly, let him fly. He was Superman, motherfucker, Cipro For Sale.
“Too bad downtown is a no-fly-zone, pal,” Cyrus serenely said to him. Cipro from canada, “But HeliJet tickets are $149, and they’ll fly you all the way to Victoria if you want.”
Another call ended with them getting a police escort to the hospital, and left two very unimpressed ER nurses with a Hell’s Angel sloshed on morphine and considering a career change. The Angel and the Psycho had a long and engaging talk while Donny weaved in and out of traffic. He was thinking of becoming an ambulance driver. Cipro For Sale, Cyrus was thinking about becoming a biker. Returning to clean out the back of the unit, Donny was feeling fairly relaxed. So far, so good.
He could still see their jumper through the hospital’s sliding glass doors, strapped down the gurney in the packed ER waiting for a bed to open up.
“You know that guy was nuts. I mean—” Donny froze, Cipro For Sale. Cyrus was staring out the back of the ambulance, a dazed look on his face. “That is, I mean, uh, he was a little whacked out on drugs, eh?”
Cyrus turned his head towards him slowly, eyes unfocused. Donny shivered, Cipro mg. It felt like his skin was trying to crawl around from back to front. Cipro For Sale, “Huh?” Cyrus just looked through him. He sat stiffly in the back of the van while Donny scrubbed the blood out of the stretcher’s vinyl. The biker had taken a knife to the abdomen. It nicked an artery, and he had nearly bled out on the way to VGH.
“Nothing.” Donny finished his cleaning and scurried out of the back of the ambulance, dragging his mop and bloody water bucket behind him.
Donny’s stomach growled as they pulled away from VGH, Cipro For Sale. He opened his mouth to suggest they hit up a drive-in White Spot nearby for dinner, but was cut off by Dispatch. They had another call, a lady off her meds needing to be admitted for MO — mental observation. Her neighbours wanted the cops to take her to the hospital, which meant the cops wanted the paramedics to take her to the hospital. Donny grumbled, flipping on the lights and sirens. Cipro For Sale, The pecking order was such a wonderful thing.
Driving to East Hastings, Donny thought of his girls at home, waiting for him. He hated coming to this neighbourhood full of drug houses. Cipro australia, uk, us, usa, Too many bad calls for the service. Too many calls gone bad. The local station house had gotten t-shirts made up saying “Knife and Gun Club,” as that’s what they collected off most of their calls, Cipro For Sale. They pulled up to the curb in front of a rundown apartment building. Broken windows decorated the front of it. They hopped out, pulling the stretcher clumsily, and rounded the cop cruiser that was waiting for them. Inside the entrance hall, a uniform fidgeted, shifting nervously and finally waving as he saw them approach. Cipro For Sale, “Hey, what took so long. We’ve been waiting for you,” the rookie barked at them. He called over the radio to his partner: the paramedics had finally shown up.
“Whadad they do. Stop for some fuckin White Spot on the way over?” was the garbled reply over the speakers.
“How I wish,” Donny said as he shoved the stretcher past the rookie, Cipro For Sale.
The elevator didn’t work, so they had to haul the stretcher up all five flights of stairs. The young cop nipped at their heels, pestering them to hurry up as they summited each landing.
Donny was puffing with serious effort, while Cyrus merely smiled serenely, order Cipro online overnight delivery no prescription, lumbering along effortlessly, when they finally came to 5D. Even with the door closed, Donny could hear a loud argument going on. Cipro For Sale, The noise only got more intense as the rookie opened the door, revealing a shiny silver room inside.
Everything was covered in tinfoil: the walls, the furniture, the windows, even the multitude of cats that wandered around the place had tiny tin foil hats taped onto their heads. The room was illuminated by a lone industrial florescent light fixture, secured to the ceiling with duct tape. In the middle of all this was a tiny little old woman screeching, much like Nicole had, at a very weary looking sergeant.
“If I leave my house they’ll get me. How can you ask me to do that, Cipro For Sale. If I leave who will take care of my babies. They don’t like their hats, and take them off,” she screamed at the poor sergeant. “You can’t let them take the hats off because if you do the microwaves get into your brain and then they can do all kinds of things to you without you knowing. Cipro no rx, Lulu took hers off once and she brought back a BIRD. Cipro For Sale, She never brings back birds!”
The woman was an MO, obviously, and belonged in Riverview, just like all the other looney toons, and by the look on the young cop’s face, he agreed. Donny wondered why they hadn’t just picked her up and dragged her out of the cave-like apartment. She couldn’t weigh more than a hundred pounds and was definitely compact enough.
Cyrus was grinning like he’d been lobotomized and stepped between the sergeant and the crazy cat lady. The sergeant shot an angry look at Cyrus’ back before skewering Donny with a similar glare. Donny could only manage a helpless shrug in return, Cipro For Sale.
“Who will get you, ma’am?” Cyrus asked. Just like with the biker, he appeared to be genuinely interested, and stooped to pick up a cat to stroke, careful to not jostle the tinfoil hat.
“The television makers, they are beaming signals into people’s heads and doing all kinds of things to their minds while they’re unaware of it!”
“Well, ma’am,” Cyrus started.
“Ma’am. Cipro For Sale, How old do you think I am?”
Cyrus chuckled and nodded. “Well, miss, your neighbours down the hall are worried that you’re sick. They think your tinfoil wall has a crack in it and they want the doctors to check you over, just to be sure that your brain is okay.”
Donny couldn’t help but marvel at this man, Cipro steet value, who had been committed, now speaking to a woman who should be committed. He seemed completely genuine and sincere, perhaps even sane. She took Cyrus to show him some of her hand-written essays on the science of beaming messages into people’s brains, written on toilet paper of course, before leading him around the apartment to check the walls for cracks, leaving Donny with two not-very-amused cops.
“That’s Cyrus the Psycho isn’t it?” Rumbled the older officer, a contemptuous sneer parked on his ugly mug, Cipro For Sale. “I thought he was a myth, something you guys made up to scare the shit outta newbies. So all that shit’s true then. I don’t see why you guys let him out in public. I mean the guy is nuts, isn’t he?”
Donny was torn; he knew Cyrus was crazy but he didn’t like the tone of voice the guy used when he said ‘you guys.’ He just shrugged again and stooped to pet a cat that wandered by. Cipro For Sale, The crazy duo returned from the kitchen with a fresh roll of tinfoil. When they crossed into the room, their conversation dropped to a murmur, and the lady drew in closer to Cyrus. She went to the table and began folding tinfoil into four makeshift hats, which she passed to Cyrus. Buy Cipro online cod, Smiling at her, he put on one and then passed the rest to Donny and the cops.
“What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?” asked the rookie, watching his sergeant closely as the older man inspected the hat.
“Well, Rosie here said she’d go with us to the hospital with us but she wants to be sure we’re safe, so we’ll all wear these hats, okay?” Cyrus smiled benevolently at everyone, Cipro For Sale. He turned and took Rosie by the hand and guided her to the door, bypassing the stretcher altogether.
The cops looked at Donny with mouths agape. Donny secured his hat and began trying to awkwardly push the stretcher back down the hallway towards the stairs.
After they’d swept the apartment and took statements from the neighbours the cops followed them down, wearing their own hats, and helped Donny with the stretcher. Cipro For Sale, Rosie waited regally in the ambulance. Cyrus sat with her with her and chatted. He was positively beaming. They managed to get her to the hospital without incident, and they handed her over to the diligently haggard ER nurse, who didn’t even blink an eye at the tinfoil hats. As soon as she was out of sight, Donny and the two cops removed their hats. Cyrus, however, wore his for the rest of the day, garnering odd stares from all he met, Cipro For Sale.
They wheeled the jumper out of the ER while Donny and Cyrus were doing turnaround work on the ambulance. Cyrus waved to him. The jumper gave him the finger, Cipro forum, and then he disappeared into the back of an ambulance headed to Riverview.
“You know, Donny,” Cyrus said, “I think that guy might have been unbalanced mentally.”
When quitting time finally rolled around, Donny almost fell out of the ambulance, tired and tense from spending all day with Cyrus the Psycho. Cipro For Sale, Of course, it wasn’t as bad as he’d figured it would be, but he was more than ready to go home and see his girls. As he staggered towards his locker to grab his jacket and keys, the folded up tinfoil hat fell out of his pocket and rattled gently on the cement floor. He smiled as he bent to retrieve it. His back ached from too much lifting over the day when he stood back up. A hand slapped him on the back and he froze. He spun around and there was Cyrus with a blank look on his face, Cipro For Sale.
“We should do this again some time,” Cyrus said, then turned and walked away. He stopped after a few steps, turned on his heel and said, “Not that I want anything bad to happen to Gerry, though. We’ve got a good system, him and me. …You seemed a bit stiff today, though. Cipro For Sale, I don’t know what John offered you to ride with me, but you should try to argue some vacation time out of him…” And with that, he walked out to the curb, lumbered down the street, tinfoil hat still perched jauntily atop his crazed head.
“Good job today, Don, I really do owe you!” John crowed, a cloud of cigarette smoke surrounding him as always. “Really, you’re a life saver. Good to see you survived the Psycho.”
“You know, he’s not too bad, just weird as hell,” Donny said with a smile. He fingered the tinfoil hat in his hand and wondered how Rosie was doing.
