* * * * * * * * * * * * * * carol was ready to go home for the day.she only had seventy-two hours left before her last day on friday and she was tempted to just blow it off.her withdrawal was unrelenting.it had been almost four months since shed stopped taking the drug and she was still weak and constantly dizzy.the warm weather had made it even worse.the air conditioning in the dilapidated building hadnt worked right since the 1960s.in past summers , she had bitched and complained along with the rest of the staff.but the only real problem shed ever had with it was the excessive sweating.now , the lack of ac was intensifying every symptom.shed even had to escape to her car occasionally and run the air conditioner full force to keep from throwing up.this , combined with the sixty thousand plus dollars they had made on the dominex stock , had left her ready to bolt out the door.the patients were the only motivation keeping her there.they all knew that friday was her last day and she didnt want to abandon them .
