Chapter 2
Hamilton sat patiently on the bed waiting for his parents to arrive; he could hear the nurses rushing up and down the corridor just outside his room. His mind drifted, he sat facing the window, he thought so anyway because of the warmth of the sun on his face, but he was only guessing, it could have been a radiator for all he knew! He had become infuriated by the fact that everything he knew about the world now didn't exist to him anymore. He decided to do something about it.
He got up, took one pace forward with his arms outstretched, then another, then another, all the time counting the amount of steps he took, eventually, his hands hit something solid, it felt cold, he tapped gently, it sounded glasslike, it was a window as he had guessed! He was pleased. He had accomplished, he could live like this!
*Now how many steps did I take?* he thought, *yes it was 12, ok then, just turn around and walk back!*
So that's exactly what he did, he reached lower this time with his hands at the height he thought the bed was, 11 steps on he stops, and reaches forward, yes there was the bed. He had did it, ok it was only a small achievement but small steps must be taken if he was ever to climb the mountain of his blindness!
He sat back down, just as the door opened. "hello sweetie, how are you doing today?" said the all to familiar voice of his mother, "your father is waiting in the car, I hope you don't mind" "hello mum, I'm just peachy, I get to go home walk into chairs, doors, well you get the picture," he said sarcastically, "and ohh no I don't mind if dad stays in the car, it is only the day his only son gets out of hospital after a serious injury that has left him blind, it's not as if it important or anything!" "well there's no reason to use that tone of voice to me, I understand" "yeah right mum, whatever you say!" he mumbled under his breath. "I've brought a wheelchair, but if you'd prefer to walk, I don't mind?" "I'll walk! I'm not paralysed you know, I'm only blind!"
he placed his sunglasses on and linked arms with his mother, they proceded to leave the hospital, and reached the car, "hello son, everything ok?" "yes dad, everything's fine" the car ride back was an odd experience, he could feal the car moving, but he couldn't see what was going on, it was very disorienting. They finally reached home, and he was sat down on the sofa, and left while his mother went to cook food, and his father disappeared into his study! *welcome home me!*
TBC Sorry it's short but I've got a lot assignments due soon and there's soooo much to do, I'll try to update as soon as possible, but it could be the weekend before I get the chance. And just a small note, If you've read this please review, even if its just to say you've read it! I tend to get slower with the reviews if I don't think anyones reading them, or just give up completely so if you want to know what happens please review. Thanks TJF.
