By risertwv, 09:55Really good cucumbersA far more sensible food than kiwi
fruit
I polished off one cucumber and attacked the nextThe sickroom
echoed with the sound of me munching cucumbersOnly after I had
finished the second whole cucumber was I ready to take a breakI
boiled some water on the gas burner in the hall and made tea"Would you like something to drink? Water? Juice?" I asked Midori's
father"Great," I said with a smile"With nori?"
He gave a little nodI cranked the bed up againThen I cut a bitesized
piece of cucumber, wrapped it with a strip of nori, stabbed the
combination with a toothpick, dipped it in soy sauce, and omega olympic watch delivered it
to the patient's waiting mouthWith almost no change of expression,
Midori's father crunched down on the piece again and again and
finally swallowed it"How was that? Good, huh?"
he said"It's good when food tastes good," I said"It's kind of like proof you're
alive
He ended up eating the entire cucumberWhen he had finished it, he
wanted water, so I gave him a drink from the bottleA few minutes
later, he said he needed to pee, so I took the urine jar from under the
230
bed and held it by the tip of his penisAfterwards I emptied the jar
into the toilet and washed it outThen I went back to the chanel jumbo sickroom and
finished my tea"How are you feeling?" I asked"Hurts?"
he said with a slight frown"Well, no wonder, you've just had an operationOf course, I've never
had one, so I don't know what it's like"Ticket? What ticket?"
he saidI had no idea what he was talking about, and just kept quietHe stayed
silent for a time, tooThen he seemed to say He opened his
eyes wide and looked at me hardI guessed that he was trying to tell
me something, but I couldn't begin to imagine what it was"Ueno Station?"
He gave a little nodI tried to summarize what he was getting at: "Ticket, Midori, chloe dior please,
Ueno Station," but I had no idea what it meantI assumed his mind
was muddled, but compared with before his eyes now had a terrible
clarityHe raised the arm that was free of the intravenous contraption
and stretched it towards meThis must have been a major effort for
him, the way the hand trembled in mid-airI stood and grasped his
frail, wrinkled handHe returned my grasp with what little strength he
could muster and said again "Don't worry," I said"I'll take care of the ticket and Midori, too He
let his hand drop back to the bed and closed his eyesThen, with a
loud rush of breath, he fell asleepI gucci watches for women checked to make sure he was still
alive, then went out to boil more water for teaAs I was sipping the
hot liquid, I realized that I had developed a kind of liking for this little
man on the verge of death231
The wife of the other patient came back a few minutes later and asked
if everything was OKHer husband, too, was
sound asleep, breathing deeplyMidori came back after three"I was in the park, spacing out," she said"I did what you told me,
didn't talk to anybody, just let my head go empty
"How was it?"
"Thanks, I feel much betterI still have that draggy, tired feeling, but
my body feels much lighter than see by chloe bag befo
