The fluorescent lights in the pharmacy hummed, a relentless, irritating sound. Emily tapped her foot, a rapid, almost frantic movement against the tile floor. She’d been waiting for her prescription, only to discover that the label didn’t match her name. Another patient's records. Another mistake.

Her jaw clenched. She needed this medication *tonight*. She needed it to sleep. Now, she was going to have to make another trip. Another phone call. This was utterly unacceptable.

She took a deep breath, fighting the urge to explode. The pharmacy, the doctor, the whole system – it was all such a colossal waste of time.
