122. Prisoner

When I awoke, I was restrained in bed. Now, I understand it’s for my own good so I don’t go wandering off and getting bloodless, but I am not a criminal like some of these drug fiends. I nearly panicked, but I could hear Lenore’s voice in the hallway and relaxed. She wouldn’t let them treat me like an animal. She’d get me out of here. If the doctors didn’t steal my liver during the night, surely one of my cellmates…sick mates would.

But then she left! What heartache! Betrayal! Had she actually fallen for what the doctors said? Did she really think that I was delirious and a hazard to myself?

I started yelling to her. “Lenore, my love!” Then a nurse had to come in and give me a shot to knock me out.
