~ Dear god. Please watch over this woman, I pray for only good wishes for her and her family, I pray the hardest for her lucky son

At last, I can know breathe normally.

The mixture smells of blood, urine, faeces, vomit and tears. I'm not sure if the retirement village is going to smell any different. I feel as if the infirmary gives you some sort of sensibility about life and death, pain, or sometimes freedom. I must admit I have trust issues with the nurses. Her young body and red hair. She is younger enough to be my granddaughter. I read her tag, oh she's an apprentice. I realise that as the doctor walks in. Drats, stitches. Small ones all over my arm. Very well, please proceed. I take full responsibility for my actions. I can't really feel the pain after that numbing cream but I see and feel the rhythm. In, out.  I'm starting to feel that uncomfortable feeling in my stomach. I remain still for the nurse. 

Less than 20 minutes, my stitches are done. I'm hungry though, where's the nurs - oh. Who's this young man standing at the door? He smiles and passes me a bowl of jelly and ice-cream.

"Thank you, Mr?", I look at his shirt. He's not a another doctor or a male nurse. I assume his a visitor.

"Hello, my name is Anh Do", he teaches his right hand out for a welcoming greeting. I sit up from the gurney and shake his hand. I eat as he continues. He's so kind to ask an old man such as myself if he's alright from a crash.

"Were you one of the witnesses?", I ask.

He apologizes. "I was not a witnesses. I was the one in the car". Oh my gosh! I don't notice, he hasn't got a scratch on him. My anxiety kicks back in.

"Its alright, it's alright. I'm completely fine," he calms me the way his mother did. "It was actually interesting, think I'll be auditioning for the next Sandra Bullock in Speed."

I laugh. He has a wicked sense of humor. He puts flowers next to the gurney and assist I should rest so, I do. 


The End :)
Thank you
