Chapter 28
Journey to Another World 2
Ch. 9
"Mam, I am terribly sorry but you must understand that we can't keep your son like this for to much longer. The longer he stays in that coma the more likely he'll never awaken." Back in the hospital a doctor tells the boys mother. He has tried many ways of coming around the bush to tell her this but it has been pushed to the point of the harsh truth.
"And I understand that doctor, but my son has said that he isn't finished. 'Whatever that means.' And I intend to let him finish whatever he's doing in his mind." The doctor drops his head, takes a deep sigh, then shakes his head. He looks up to the lady and sees that she has taken up his hand and started to rub it with the other. "My boy has never really expressed a great need or want of anything other than his Renaissance Fairs." She looks up at the doctor.
"And just look at that smile he has on his face. I haven't seen him smile like that since he went to his first Renaissance Fair." She looks back at the boy and smiles to him. "Now tell me, would you take away something as precious as your child's first favorite toy?" She looks back at the doctor. Another sigh escapes his lips. "And it's not like he doesn't want to come back to us. He said it himself, 'I'm not finished yet. Please send me back.' So once he's done with whatever he's doing in there, he'll come back to us."
"Alright. It seems that I can't change your mind in this matter. But be forewarned. The mind can only survive like this for no more than a few months before it starts to slip away." She nods to the doctor and turns back to her son. She doesn't notice the doctor throw his hands up in defeat and walk out of the room and whisper under his breath, 'Women!'
Looking down at her watch she realized that she was running late for work. So giving her boy a kiss on the forehead she grabbed her purse and headed off to work, with a promise that she would return after work. Along the drive to her job she recounted her attitude towards her son and began to wonder about the doctors words. 'If he was awoken soon, he might not want to come back. He just might want to stay that way for the rest of his life.' Many more thoughts crossed her mind as she was becoming more and more afraid that she would lose her son to the seemingly endless coma. 'Did he realize the danger of staying in that state for so long?'
Finally she made up her mind and decided to wake her son up if only for a moment. Within that few moments she hoped she could convince her son to come back to the two of them. For the remainder of the day at her work she thought of many different ways on how to convince her son to come back to them and to inform him of the dangers of staying like that for too long.
Just then she remembered that shot of adrenalin the doctor had given him. Just maybe she could speed up the process of his dream and be that much closer to finishing it. So pulling out her cell, she call the hospital and tells them to use another shot of adrenaline on her son. Hoping that whatever he's doing in there, that the shot would hurry it along.Chapter End Notes:Disclaimer: All publicly recognizable characters, settings, etc. are the property of their respective owners.
