Hospital Adventure

My heart is pounding.

Huge, body rocking beats.

My throat is dry.

My arms ache and I feel the cords and tubes all over my body.

My eyes are so heavy and I let them fall shut.

I open them again and it’s been four hours.

I don’t know how I got here

I don’t know where my clothes are

I don’t know who I am

But somehow I know what’s wrong with me.

I see shapes by the door. Familiar shapes. Parental shapes.

They smother me.

I open my eyes to a nurse with a needle.

I close my eyes and she goes away.

A parental shape comes nearer and speaks.

She doesn’t tell me but somehow I know what’s wrong with me.

I want water. I need it.

A nurse says no.

I try to cry but my body goes to sleep instead.

Ice. There’s ice in my mouth.

A nurse is putting ice in my mouth.

Wow.

A parental shape is next to me. Watching me eat ice.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.

2am IV

3am injection

4am chest x-ray

Sleep.

Jell-O.

Injection.

Sleep.
