I own nothing related to this story.

The poem at the end is by Brian Quinnn not my masterpiece!!

Chapter 24

Reed wakes up in no pain, he smiles at Mac asleep in a chair next to his bed.

Wow the robot sleeps he thinks humorously to himself.

He hears someone enter the room, Greg is standing at the foot of his bed, stitches align the left side of his right eyebrow.

" Hi." he says smiling.

"Hi, wow I feel human."

Greg laughs

" Sleeping for a whole day will do that to you."

Reed yawns but does not stretch not wanting to pull his stitches.

" what happened to you." he says gesturing to Greg's face

" umm the guy hit me with a two by four."

" Ouch"

" Dude he broke your leg."

" I know."

" He was Adam Stevens, he was 40 years old and was The Cabbie Killers neighbor."

A voice says, Reed looks over to see Mac looking at him.

"oh" Reed says unable to say anything else

" Are you ok?" Mac asks concerned

"Yea I'm great." Reed answers smiling.

Greg smiles.

Hope

by Brian Quinn

When all about you is black with gloom,

And all you feel is pending your bones are racked with grim despair -When every breath is a gasp for on going,

though you need to grope,

For around the bend is a ray of hope.

A ray of hope is perhaps all that's left,

As your will to live has been 've lost it all,

it's just no use!You can end it all,

you need no throw away that piece of rope,

And give yourself a chance of give yourself another day

,Brushing aside what your thoughts may is your life and you can make a new start,

By ignoring the brain - just follow the baby steps in order to cope,

And minute by minute you'll build on your on your hope,.

one day at a time,

Though the road be steep and hard to hurts of the past - they should be fears of the future are all in your live in the present and refuse to mope Your life will sparkle for you're living in hope.

THE END

Yes!! it's done hope you enjoyed the ride!!! Review!!
