The Boy to Remember
Artemis sat in the psychiatrists office, whilst the psychiatrist in person sat looking at Artemis with curious eyes whilst annoyingly tapping against the chairs leather armrest. Artemis slowly lifted both of his ice blue eyes to match the dark brown ones opposite him.
"Would you like a drink?" offered the fat man in the chair. "By the way, I'm Doctor Mason. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled nervously, holding out his hand for Artemis to shake.
Doctor? Artemis thought to himself. I bet you are. He stared at the shaking hand in front of his face until Dr Mason decided to wipe his sweaty palms on his trousers.
"A drink would be lovely." Commented Artemis. " Earl Grey please, if you have it." The side of Artemis's mouth slowly turned upwards into a smirk as he watched Dr Mason splutter his reply. " Um, err… well, sorry there's no Earl Grey, but we do have PG tips. Mason pulled himself out of the leather armchair before waddling over to the kettle and making the tea.
It took a while for the kettle to boil so Artemis's eyes began to wander the room. There was nothing out of ordinary, for a psychiatrist that was. Pieces of paper littered the old, wooden desk and surrounding floor, an ornate rug lay proudly beneath his feet, a fresh coffee stain just on the corner. A barely hidden globe collected dust in an alcove behind a bookcase full of old classics such as Jane Austins 'Pride and Prejudice' and, Artemis's favourite, Lewis Carrol's 'Alice in Wonderland'.
Artemis recalled his favourite line from the book, " I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
So true, He thought, chuckling to himself quietly.
Dr Mason sat back down after handing Artemis his drink, he took a sip, Artemis doing the same. Nothing was said for what seemed like infinity, Artemis could feel his consciousness slipping away from him. Not again he thought, as he drifted off.
