Transfusion

Tonnes of rubbles crash in front of Agaz, but he doesn't stop. He takes a sharp turn and runs out of the fumes. Screams and explosions are everywhere around him. But he can't stop. His legs are aching, his hands are losing strength, his eyesight is hazy with the dust, but he will not stop. He grips the blood bag tightly and jumps over a heap of wreckage. Scanning the area, he tries to ensure that he is going in the right direction on the barely recognizable road. Then, he halts all of a sudden.
A crater has replaced the entrance of the hospital. Black smoke is rising from the back of the building. The hospital has been hit? Mariam?

“MARIAAAM!” Agaz screams. He starts running again, making his way around to the back entrance of the hospital. He can feel the warmth of the blood in the bag. He can feel Mariam just as warm, just like this last night when the shelling began. Streams of people push past him out the door, but Agaz manages to get in. Why people are running out of the hospital? Agaz has no time to think as he almost flies to the 3rd floor where he has left Mariam.

“Mariam?” Agaz screams in despair again, seeing only bloodstains on the floor. “Where is she?” he pulls on the coat of a running medic.

“We don't know. Nobody knows. The hospital has been hit. We are evacuating…it's such a mess!”
Mariam?
Agaz stands like a statue with the blood bag.

Lost!
He slowly leans down on the floor and touches the bloodstain; this is where Mariam was lying before he left to bring the blood, required for her surgery. He gently touches the floor, tears streaming.
“We need A+ blood here!” Agaz is jolted back.

“A+ blood! Bring some A+ blood!” A rumble of relatives pass by him. Agaz stands up slowly; he walks towards the direction of the call. Is that Mariam? He rubs his eyes, his heart racing a thousand beats, as he heads towards a lady lying on the floor, surrounded by medics.

“Oh, you got the blood. Great!” The medic snatches the bag with 'A+' written in bold.
Agaz is silent. He can see another man holding Mariam's hand. He stares as the woman's face changes from Mariam to someone unknown. The blood bag is now hanging beside her. The transfusion has begun and life is returning to the
motionless body. Agaz stands numb.

Mariam?
