Hey, Greg,

I found an error in this paragraph. I'm sure you meant to say "he made his WAY from one laboratory..."

"He was tall and bent, with thin arms and legs, yet he retained a rotund belly that spilled over his belt. He shuffled along everywhere he went, pushing a walker to keep his balance as he made his ONE from one laboratory to the next, always followed close behind by his full-time nurse who diligently stayed two steps behind him wherever he went."

Maybe my own personal preference? I read this as emotions being plural so… “stirred uneasy emotions within her that was too eerily reminiscent” would be: “stirred uneasy emotions within her that were too eerily reminiscent”
