Call That Changes Your Life

The hospital doors open

A chilling gust comes charging at you as a gladiator with a spear charging his enemy

You hesitate at th door, not wanting to move

The women at the desk asks if you are okay?

You wait to reply, then finally say yes

You falterly walk to UC room 404

You made your wa through the horrifying hallway, there awaits a lifeless body on the bed

His sweet blue eyes closed

His chest moving slowly

His toes wiggle all so sightly

The machines beeping

What happened to his?

He is only 74

He can recover, can't he?

 

Life support is the only thing keeping him here

The machine is his breath

 

The fluids flowing right through his blue systemic veins

Is he dead or is he asleep?

 

Is he alive or are the machines making him stay alive?

They do call the machines life spport but what does that mean?

Can he hear me?

Or is he not near?

 

I have waited too long. I am sorry

I love you and i will miss you.

 

And that was it.

The machines stopped and so did his heart.
