The five minutes of actual abortion time (like, the total time that the vacuum aspiration machine was operational) that I spent sitting in a chair next to my ex-girlfriend's hospital bed and holding her hand was pretty intense, but the half hour leading up to it, when we (she and I and the doctor and the anesthesiologist and a nurse) were making idle chit-chat while the painkillers kicked in, was also not what I would call fun, despite the fact that she remained her naturally cool and funny self through the entire thing. There was a moment when there was a lull in the conversation that suddenly exposed to everyone in the room the barely-audible ticking of a wall clock mounted above the bed. Without anyone having to say anything about it, the nurse scooted an empty chair underneath it, hopped up on it, and took it down. Everyone immediately enjoyed a nice loud nervous laugh. Later that afternoon when she and I were back at her house eating post-abortion cheeseburgers and tater tots (a brand new Sonic had opened up a block from her house that week) that I mentioned the clock thing and how weird it was. She said "oh you know why she did that, right? Cause it represents a biological clock. We were all thinking that and she was just being nice." Even if she was full of shit, that hadn't even occurred to me. I still can't believe they let me in the room.
