i open my eyes once more.

the boy isn't sitting on the chair anymore.

i turn my head the opposite way slowly.

there's a doctor at my other side.

he says i'm awake, finally.

i nod.

he tells me that i had a visitor.

i asked where he went.

my voice is croaky.

how long have i been out?

my doctor says he went to school for the day, but he'd be back later that day.

i thanked him and he left my room.

looks like there's something to look forward to today.
