Day 12: The world's going to end because of global warming, and your character does something unbelievably stupid. Now show how the action is perfectly logical. 

Twenty-four hours in and I am still lying on a trolly in corridor.
The guy on the adjacent trolly cannot believe how I came to be in Casualty.

“So Eco-warrior, remind me how you managed to break BOTH legs?”
“I fell down the stairs…”
“Were you staying somewhere new?”
“No, it was in my own home. I turned off the lights to save energy.
I forgot to count the stairs and thought I was nearer the bottom and fell awkwardly.”

A nurse, hurries by, trying not to get dragged into questions about how long it will be before any of the patients lining the corridor get a bed.

“Can you move Eco-Warrior further away from the light switches, please?
We don’t want her turning off any more lights and causing further disasters…”
