When I have awoken, the woman was bandaging me up on my wrist, hand, and leg. And then she put a black dress on me and tried to help me up.
Just then, the young man walked in the room. "Thanks, Michelle." He put my arm around his shoulder to help me walk. "Come on, Mom, we're going to dinner. I bet you're starving."
Now I could move some but I wasn't strong enough yet to hold my own weight. I couldn't speak well, if at all. I could only mumble a few words.
He sat me down in a chair and then sat in the chair across from me. I looked at the menu as it lay flat on the table.
Once my order came I could just barely lift my spoon to my lips. I think I managed it pretty well.
"Mother, you're looking better than you have in days," he smiled.
I felt I needed to say something back. Gosh, what was his name? "Jin." Shut up! "Jin?"
"Yes, Mom?" he asked listening as best he could.
"I…I don't…feel well," my vision was leaving me again. Everything was blurry. There was laughter ringing in my ears. It was laughing at me. "You're gonna go blind," it snickered in my ear. I wanted to cry. "Cry. Go on, cry." I almost did. But I stopped myself. I began to fall back and almost out of the chair. Jin must have rushed over and caught me because I felt something lift me from the floor as it barely touched my skin.
Jin held me with one arm and reached into his pocket with the other. I heard his hand fall onto the table before placing it on my hip to help me walk. That's when I blacked out.
