This week's post is by Rebecca Besser from her novel, Nurse Blood.
Hi, I'm Sonya Garret, and I'm a nurse. I work at the local hospital as a cover for what I really do -- chop people up for parts to sell on the black market. Do you know how much money can be made that way? You're probably sitting there thinking I'm a cold-hearted bitch, but the truth is, I believe in killing one to save many. A lot of people are on the waiting lists to receive the organs that will save their life. That's not all either! There's also tissue from various parts of the human body that can be used for research. So, I ask you, why is it bad to kill one person when their death will give new life and hope to many?
I usually work with Roger -- whom I love like a brother -- and Jennings (he's really a pompous ass). Unfortunately, one of the members of our group quit so we had to find a new guy -- Jack. I hate him! Luckily, my boyfriend Lloyd came along to help me deal with all the stress.
I'm from somewhere in the United States (I can't really say where), and Sonya isn't my real name (shh, don't tell). There are a lot of things about my past that I can't and won't share with you for your own safety. The FBI is hot on our trail after all, and we never know what information will lead them to us. ;)
1. The worst Valentine's Day gift I ever received was...
when Lloyd thought I wanted a romantic dinner. Why would I want to go out when we could stay in and wear less clothes?!
2. My idea of the perfect date would be...
to have a bubble bath with Lloyd and spend the night in bed, pleasing each other.
3. If you want to give me candy...
I would prefer chocolate hearts. They remind me of my work and the hearts I provide to so many needy, sick people.
4. The song that best describes my current love life is...
