Snakes

Staring
Marco is at the long term care facility walking the hallway when he sees the door to Lydia's room cracked open. He stares in at her as she's being bathed and she lies motionless. Ironically, she opens her eyes and looks directly at Marco and it scares him. He leaves and the nurses close her eyes as it is an involuntary reaction.
