Suddenly, the room went deathly quiet. Then, just as suddenly, the doctor spoke.
Suddenly, the room went deathly quiet. Then, just as suddenly, the doctor spoke.
‘I’m suddenly not so sure about this,’ he said, suddenly. Just as he was saying this, he caught a sudden movement out of the corner of his eye. He span round just in time to see the sudden arrival of an unexpected figure. It was the soldier from the day before, suddenly limping in with blood on his hands. Suddenly, the doctor understood what had happened.
‘I feel suddenly... cold...’ the soldier suddenly whispered before suddenly collapsing. With quick, sudden movements of his expert but suddenly shaking hands, the doctor suddenly began to tend to the man’s wounds.
‘Nurse,’ he suddenly barked, ‘I need bandages and morphine. And make it sudden.’ Before he could suddenly save him, though, the soldier was suddenly dying in his arms. The doctor suddenly leaned in to hear his sudden last words.
‘Tell my wife...’ the soldier suddenly rasped, his breathing suddenly urgent and sudden. ‘Tell my wife... I suddenly... love her.’
What a sudden turn of events this was!

Reading the word "sudden" so many times broke my brain, causing me to read it as "sodden", making the passage even more bizarre.
