They looked so serene that Angel thought it was just an afternoon nap, but who falls asleep in a park at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he thought and tried to wake them up to understand what was happening to them, but his efforts were unsuccessful. He wanted to call the police, but he felt something strange as if he was living in a movie.
Instantly he noticed two young doctors walking down the park and alerted them that there were two unconscious people on one of the benches, they looked at each other strangely, but immediately got down to work. The girl seemed to be asleep, she had long red hair and a smiling expression on her face.
Next to her rested an older man of about 50 years old, who had a somber expression. Was that an overdose, they could not understand at that moment. A woman sitting a few meters away told them that they had been like that for more than an hour, so they did not understand, but Angel was also feeling bad.
Se veían tan serenos que Ángel pensó que solo era una siesta vespertina pero, ¿quién se queda dormido en un parque a las 3 de la tarde?, pensó e Intentó tratar de despertarlos para entender que les ocurría, pero sus esfuerzos fueron infructuosos. Quiso llamar a la policía, pero sentía algo extraño como si estuviera viviendo en una película.
Al instante se percató que dos jóvenes médicos bajaban por el parque y los alertó que había dos personas inconscientes en uno de los bancos, ellos se miraron extrañados, pero en seguida pusieron manos a la obra. La chica parecía dormida, tenía una larga cabellera roja y tenía una expresión sonriente en su rostro.
A su lado descansaba un señor mayor de unos 50 años, este tenía una expresión sombría. ¿Era aquello una sobredosis?, no lo podían entender en aquel instante. Una mujer sentada a unos metros, les relató que habían estado así por más de una hora, entonces no lo entendían, pero Ángel también se estaba sintiendo mal.
He had told the doctors that he also felt dizzy, they also began to feel dizzy and they did not know why. Soon they began to fall at such a slow pace that it seemed to go on forever, they all felt as if gravity had ceased to exist in an instant.
But it was impossible, a wave of air hit his face and suddenly he couldn't breathe, his muscles didn't respond to his movements and his eyesight began to fail him. Right there he lost consciousness.
Les había dicho a los doctores que él también se sentía mareado, ellos también comenzaron a sentirse mareados y no sabían el porqué. Pronto comenzaron a caer a un ritmo tan lento que parecía ser eterno, todos se sentían como si la gravedad hubiera dejado de existir en un instante.
Pero era imposible, una ola de aire golpeó su rostro y de repente no podía respirar, sus músculos no respondían ante sus movimientos y su vista comenzó a fallarle. Justo allí perdió el conocimiento.
The Doctors
It had been quite a strenuous day for both of them, Mathew and Freda had been friends for as long as they could remember, but they had had to do night duty at Salisbury Hospital. Together they drove through the streets of the district in a bit of a hurry, but chatting about one subject or another, they were never quiet.
Mathew was thinking of going to the supermarket before going home, but Freda persuades him to go afterwards. Coffee wouldn't be bad, and they never drank coffee away from the Salisbury Café. A lot of friends work there, but it was quite far away and they had to leave the car near the park and walk across.
It was a beautiful day and Freda received an unexpected phone call, but the patient wouldn't leave her alone, she thought as she ignored her phone. A patient had been flirting with her, taking advantage of the fact that she had given him her number "for consultations only". He wouldn't do it again and she was sure of it.
Los Médicos
Había sido una jornada bastante extenuante para ambos, Mathew y Freda eran amigos desde que tenían uso de razón, pero habían tenido que cumplir la guardia nocturna en el hospital de Salisbury. Juntos conducían en las calles del distrito con algo de prisa, pero conversando de uno u otro tema, nunca estaban callados.
Mathew pensaba ir al super antes de irse a casa, pero Freda le convence de ir después. Un café no estaría mal y nunca bebían café lejos del Café Salisbury. En ese establecimiento trabajan un montón de amigos, pero quedaba bastante lejos y tenían que dejar el coche cerca del parque y atravesarlo caminando.
Hacia un día precioso, Freda recibe una llamada imprevista, ¿es que ese paciente no piensa dejarla en paz?, piensa mientras ignora su teléfono. Un paciente había estado coqueteándole aprovechándose de que le había dado su número “solo para consultas”. No lo volvería a hacer y estaba segura de ello.
Mathew por su parte sonríe, disfruta de su profesión y de aquel momento de su vida y de repente, un hombre les llama la atención. ¿Cómo es que sabe que somos médicos?, se pregunta casi avergonzado, mientras se da cuenta que aun lleva uniforme. Un médico es un servidor público y él lo sabe, al girar la cabeza ve a un hombre y a una mujer dormidos en un banco del parque.
¿Qué pasaba con ellos?, no respondían ante las cachetadas y decidieron revisarles los ojos. Estaban en blanco, tenían dificultades para respirar y sus signos vitales eran casi imperceptibles. Entonces el hombre que los alertó, comenzó a tambalearse y en unos instantes ve a Freda también sucumbiendo. La inconsciencia llegaba y ellos solo podían verse caer al ritmo de un caracol, pero, ¿Qué pasaba?
Mathew smiles, enjoying his profession and that moment in his life, and suddenly a man catches his eye. How does he know we are doctors, he wonders almost embarrassed, realizing that he is still in uniform. A doctor is a public servant and he knows it. As he turns his head, he sees a man and a woman asleep on a park bench.
What was wrong with them, they were unresponsive to the slaps and decided to check their eyes. They were blank, had difficulty breathing and their vital signs were almost imperceptible. Then the man who had alerted them began to stagger and in a few moments he saw Freda also succumbing. Unconsciousness set in and they could only see themselves falling to the rhythm of a snail, but what was happening?
