A final goodby chapter one

Blankly, i stare. Fear, sorrow, and disbelief. All so obviosly, in my eyes, like koi fish in an empty pond. Slowly, this man i had never met before, firmly grips my shoulder, gives it a gentle shake, and quietly mumbles some form of words resembleing "I'm sorry..." without looking at me, but at the cheap lanolium flooring. Then, without another sound, he vacates the room, leavung it empty to me and my thoughts.

As i sit here in this lonely little examination room, my mind begins to wander. Diveing deep into the deapths of my brain, nolonger aware of my surroundings, i soon come across the all to recent memory, just begging to be replayed. So divulge into it.

~I hear the door click and open, i look up and say "So doc, am i going to live to see another day?" Ant thats when i see it. The all to reconizable look on his face. Pity. "I know that look. I know it all too well. So whats wrong?"

"Well son, you see, this might be a little-"

"No! Stop! Just stop it right there!" I yell as i knock seringes off the table to my right. "I refuse to listen to your stupid sympathy speach! So cut the crap, and just tell me what the fucking problem is!"

"*sigh* Your cell aren't reproduceing fast enough. Your brain is too fast for your body. Your body doesnt have enough energy to keep up with your actions. Your body is deterierating. What ever way i put it, i'm still sayng the same thing, your dying. We can't predict when your going to die, but we can tell you, it will be soon."~

I resurface to reality "Excuse me. Young man. Young man, you have to leave now." I look up to see a perky young red head. Probably a nurse. I deside to reply. "Who are you calling young man? Your probably not much older than i am." Reconizing the emotions in my eyes, like she's seen those exact ones all before, about a thousand times before, she puts he gentle hand on my face, and say's "it will be okay. I know that right now it seems like the end of the universe, and i'm sure, in your case, it probably is for you, but you'll get through it all. I mean, i'm actualy getting through my own case right now. So i'm sure you can get through yours too." Not sure whether or not that was truth or just plain old sympathy, i closely study her features, starring unusualy deep into her eyes for a moment that feels like forever, to relize theres inly one thing there, something you dont realy see any more, kindness. Pure kindness.

With the last moments of her lingering words, i smile. "Well i see my little attempt at cheering you up has been succesful. But you have to leave now, the clinic is about to close." Her saying this reminds me that i have to call zim.

"What time is it?!"

"Allmost nine. Why?"

"Crap!" He's probably going to go int sleep mode soon. I run out the examination room, through the cinic doors, and out into the empty street. I get a good glimpse of my surroundings, determine a rout home, and just start a dead sprint.

I have to get home. I have to call zim. He can make everything better.
