Wilt

Confine

A beam of sun light comes through the window.

I reach my hand to feel the warmth of the light.

This helps me cope with the suffocation of this hospital room I have to stay in.

The nurse comes in to give me my breakfast and quickly leaves out of fear of my illness imprisoning her too.

It feels lonely and I want to end this tragic life of mine, but I can't give up on believing for a cure.

I have things I want to do.

I want to see my family.

I want to experience the world.

Make friends even.

And most important...

I have to see him.

I met him here at this hospital; I don't know his name, but I remember his hand.

The hand that extended to me accepting me.

He wasn't afraid of getting sick.

He promised me he would come back.

Even though we were children back then and it could've been a silly little boy making a promise he couldn't keep.

I saw the seriousness in his eyes and felt the tight grip of his pinky that day.

I know he'll come back.

Oh, shoot I forgot about my breakfast.

I think it has gotten cold heh.

Sometimes I just loose track in my thoughts to notice what's in front of me.

Oops.

I eat my breakfast and take my morning medicine.

Now what?

I did everything I had to for the morning and I can't leave my room.

Hmm, maybe I'll just sleep today again.

I was getting ready to go back to sleep until I hear three knocks on the door.

"Come in," I said.

A man cames in with brown eyes and... Uhh blue hair?

He had an ear pierced and his hair was all messy.

He looked like some gangster.

What if he was really a gangster?!

Holy fish sticks, Ima die ain't I?

The man asked me if my name was Cheri.

I just freaked out more.

He knew my name!

My voice shook as I said, "Umm yeah that's me." then I gathered up my guts to ask "Who are you?"

He was going to answer my question when the nurse quickly came in.

Nurse:Sorry for my late arrival, this is your new doctor. We think he'll be closer than anyone in finding the cure. Now excuse me as I have some work to do. The doctor will fill you in.

She quickly left after.

Man with the brown eyes and blue hair: Hi, I'm Dr.SoyBean as you already know I'll be your doctor from now on. I hope to help you to the best of my ability.

What this gangster is my doctor?
