Chapter 14
Ch. 14
"Do you think this medicine will work doctor?" The nurse asks. The doctor removes a syringe from a tube that led to the young mans left arm.
"To tell you the truth nurse, I don't really know. This new type of medication is still in it's testing stages." The doctor stands up and puts the syringe into a red bio-hazard box that hangs on the wall next to the bed.
"What if the mother finds out that you are using an unreliable and possibly dangerous drug on her son?" The doctor removes his gloves and throws them into a waste basket and turns to the nurse.
"The mother has given her consent to try this new method to try and wake her son, since we have almost exhausted nearly all other resources. Besides, its not like this drug is really all that dangerous. We only gave him a small dose to see his reaction to it." Just then the mother walks into the room and sits down in the chair between her son and the window, then places her purse next to the chair. She looks up at the doctor and he nods to her.
"I have just administered the dosage to your son and we should hopefully be seeing a reaction in the next few moments." The mother nods and turns back to her son.
"I hope that you are right doctor. I just can't stand to see my son in this state for so long." She is on the verge of tears and is about to cry when her son begins to stir.
The boy slowly begins to move a little then moans. The mother is on her feet and looks from her son to the doctor and back again several times. Eventually the young man opens his eyes and the first thing that he sees is his mother with tears falling on his face.
"M.M..Ma...Mooth...Mother?"
"That's right my boy, come back to me. Come back to your mother." The boy looks at his mother and gives her a weak smile then his eyes go wide and he utters a last few words.
"Send me back. I'm not finished yet. Send me back." The boy repeats this several times, each time a little softer, then his eyes glaze over again and he slips back into unconsciousness.
The doctor rushes back on over and checks the boys vitals. "As it would seem, he has slipped back into a coma. Though this is the first time that anybody has ever wanted to slip back into a coma after coming out of one. Well it would seem that this new drug has a positive reaction and since we now know that it works then..." He stops right there when he sees the mother hold up her hand.
"My boy says that he isn't finished yet. Whatever that means. I wish for him to remain like this for a while longer if that is ok with you doctor." The doctor stands back up and looks hard at the mother with shock in his eyes. "You now know that this drug works on people that are in a coma. So why don't you go and offer it to someone else now. Someone who needs it more than my son."
The doctor nods to the nurse and they both walk out of the room, then shut the door after them. "Why doesn't she want her son to wake up doctor?" The nurse asks.
"It would seem that she wishes to honor her sons request and let him remain as he is." He looks into the room through the glass in the upper part of the door. The mother is brushing a stray hair out of the boys face. "But, the boy had just given us a nice jump and hopefully a step in waking other patients that are in the same state." With that the nurse and doctor walk off.
Back in the room the mother smiles down to her son as she leans over him and kisses his forehead. "I am happy for you my son. You seem to be having a wonderful dream. Enjoy it then, but know that one day I would like to have you back." Tears fall on the sleeping boys cheek. "There are people out here who love you and want you to come back us."Chapter End Notes:Disclaimer: All publicly recognizable characters, settings, etc. are the property of their respective owners.
