The Lifeguard

Chapter 8: Knocking on heavens door Part 2

I was back in the hospital bed. I was in isolation. I was 18 and a half. I remember this. I had exams around this time. I had a few needles in my arm. The doctor came back in with results. Finally I thought. 

"Mr Levi Hart we have conducted a series of tests. We are not 100 percent positive yet but we will be transferring you out of isolation" The doctor said. 

I needed to know why I was in this place. I begged the doctor.

 "Please tell me what is wrong with me" I said.

 I remembered I had gotten really ill. The doctor looked grim and came and sat down next to me. 

"We are not positive yet but we assume going by the tests" His eyes looked at mine and he took a deep breath.

 "You may have cancer". A shock wave came through me like lightning. 

The shock wave created a door. Light came through the door and surrounded me. Everything went white.

I was now at university. I was sitting next to Lun in the auditorium listening to the lecture. It was a very interesting lecture on business ethics. An itch crept on my stomach and I began to couch like crazy. It was a cough attack that did not stop.

 Everyone looked at me and I had to run out of the auditorium. I ran outside and continued to cough my lungs out. It was so much that I threw up my lunch. 

What in gods name was wrong with me. A door appeared next to me. Light came through the door and surrounded me. Everything went white.

                                                                                                      *

I was now at a club. My chest felt tight and I had been coughing all night. Lun and I left early as the music was shit. We left and went to go get food. And then we went home. It all went really fast. As soon as I got home I coughed like a madmen throwing up all my food and then vomiting blood. A door appeared next to me. Light came through the door and surrounded me. Everything went white.

                                                                                                      *

I was back in the hospital it was the same isolation room as before. The nurse gave me tablets and I quickly swallowed them. She gave me an injection. It was a clean needle going into the vein. It didn't hurt at all. 

I started to feel the effects as my intense cough and sluggish weakness started to disappear. A door appeared. Light came through the door and surrounded me. Everything went white.
