RECEPTION - PATIENTS' WING<em>Intro for Nora Delacroix</em><br/><br/>Why would somebody who possibly will never get the chance to participate in a 'real' lovemaking choose a workplace like this? And especially: why a young woman, almost a girl from that misfortunate type would sign a contract just to sit all day and watch beautiful men and women coming and going, or at least ones who are free to experience what God generously gave to mankind once?<br/>For Nora Delacroix these weren't questions. For her it was simply a joyful task to be close to those who were tangibly close to passion and pleasure. Who still have their genitalies...<br/>She was a fighter. At the age twenty-one she could tell that she survided an almost lethal accident, she survived the most risky and humiliating surgery just to stay alive -it was her decision- and she also survived the oncoming months.<br/>By now years.<br/><br/>She loved her medium long, reddish brown hair which was naturally wavy, she loved her nice shaped breasts that were still growing somewhat, she loved her fragile hands that she always kept well manicured and her nails modestly ornated - through infinite days of working on her self-esteem she learnt to treasure what she had left. Of course, the hospital applied her - when you spend your whole shift on the other side of the counter it can't be seen whether you have something below your waist or not. It can't be seen whether you are -literally- a half person or not.<br/>All that matters is your job, your smile, your attitude to the people you meet, how fast you can receive and handle phone calls, how efficiently you can give directions, how nicely you answer, even to the most annoying phenomena that ever entered the wing where you are on duty.<br/><br/>Your personal life - if it doesn't exist, then it's just the better. This way you can take others' shifts in an emergency situation, when they have to take care of their children who caught a cold, then you can be there even in the evenings of Valentine's Days, Christmases, then you are a really reliable employee.<br/>And if you are lucky enough... you can still hear stories of others' greatest and shiniest moments in and out of bed...<br/>
