Straightening the bedclothes near Neo's right arm, the Oracle noticed the blanket was wet. Lifting his arm, she saw the end of the drip on the blanket.
"Hmmph. Let's get your IV back into you and continue your treatment," she sighed.
Neo's eyes opened as he grabbed the Oracle's arm.
"No." he said.

Author's Afterword
First off, I want to again thank my beta readers, CD Nuts and Amber 20.
CD, thanks for help on an early partial draft. Your remark about Morpheus was right on target.
Amber, your editorial touch on my story has worked pure magic. Your help, especially on my dialog and characterization (something I know I'm very weak at), has smoothed out the many rough spots and strengthened my story immensely! Any deficiencies with the story or dialog is my fault, I was too stubborn to take your advice. Your willingness to help edit my story despite a heavy workload speaks a lot of your kindness and generosity. A million, billion Thank Yous!
I want to say thanks to all who have read and reviewed my story. You folks don't know how encouraging it was to have a review of my story. To have someone leave a review of a couple of words made my day, and most of you wrote a lot more. An embarrassment of riches!
I also feel privileged (and surprised) that some of you have liked my story enough to have it among your favorites. To all of you, Thank you!
Now on to other matters…
The Question is finished.
Does this mean the storyline is over?
No, definitely not! Rest assured that answers to questions (raised and some that haven't been asked yet) will be answered then.
I plan to post the sequel's beginning early next year. In it, I plan to add in elements from MxO. I think my story is flexible enough to take certain elements from MxO and playfully integrate it to suit my storyline's need.
In the meantime, I will post other matrix stories. See ya soon!
