John awoke on a hospital bed, covered in bandages and casts. He looked around the room. It was an empty hospital room with room for only one patient. He saw a drip IV on his left and on his right a desk with a computer facing opposite to him. There was a window behind him, that let light in the room. The light was noticeable despite how well-lit the room was, it tinted the room a faint color of orange. He pulled of his iv, and with the rest of his strength pulled the oxygen mask that he wore off. He slowly got up and made his way towards a rack that hanged his clothes. After putting them on he left, walking with a slight limp and a lack of speed. he made his way out of the hospital, blinded by the midday sun's radiance he put his forearm over his eyes and continued walking towards his house.
It hadn't occurred to him yet, but as he walked home he thought of his health. He had gotten hit by a car a few hours ago and is now walking home. he was bleeding still and walking with a trail of blood behind him. The bleeding slowly stopped. He went home and took a shower. The the streams of water washed the blood off his dome which now resembled the Mister Clean man. The blood painted the shower floor a dark red and the walls with a lighter red color. When he put on his clothes and left the bathroom he found the rock on the floor, it had no blood on it. He picked up it up, while wondering about it. He realized. The rock was responsible for it. How could the rock have healed him that quickly he wondered. He put it in his pocket and went into his study. He was writing a new book. That's what he told everyone. No one could know of his true plans, not yet. He hoped to change the world, to save the world. He turned on a computer and opened a book and began to write.
After he had finished his work he went into the living room with Dave. Dave was just sitting there, John noticed he was upset with him.
"Oh, you're here," said Dave.
Nothing swallows man faster than resentment
"What's the matter," asked John to which he received the reply: "nothing."
"You need to stop taking the pills. It has to stop," said John.
"Why i need the pills," said Dave.
"Fine whatever," replied John.
They closed their eyes after being blinded
"I wonder if our marriage is a mistake," Dave said as he got angrier.
"What? I have been so supportive of you," John said, raising his voice.
"No you haven't you're never there for me, you're always working," said Dave.
"My work is very important, it will change the world. I need to spend a lot of time working. It is going to change the world," said John.
"Oh, your work is so important you don't spend any time with me," said Dave.
"why don't we invite jade over? He and his wife would love to have dinner with us," asked John.
"Sure, as long as we get to be together," said Dave.
The table was set neatly in the dining room. Table and chairs were dark brown wood. White and light green plates lie on it besides silverware and glasses yet to be filled.
The doorbell rang.
