Apparently my criminal record played a part. I had to make do with a baseball bat. Busting my monitor open wasn't as fullfilling as I had hoped. So I dropped it out of a window at a car. Even though I missed, I had fun. The ride to the police station was fun, too, but the sirens are loud.
A woman was in a coma. She had been in it for months. Nurses were in her room giving her a sponge bath. One of them was washing her private area and noticed that there was a slight response on the monitor when she touched her.

The husband was skeptical, but they assured him that they'd close the curtains for privacy. The husband finally agreed and went into his wife's room.
