Angels And Screen Names..by Michael

Michael felt that there wasn't much time as he lay in the hospital bed. The tubes and wire reminded him of a complicated radio he once tried to build and put together from scratch. His life was reviewed in the lonely part of his brain that wished for something special before his time was up. That chance came when the nurse handed him his daily notepad as he neatly printed something that surfaced from a very long time ago. It was a combination of some letters with a few numbers that formed a screen name that he once knew. The nurse saw a tear in his eye and felt that this was something he really needed. She smiled and promised him to write to this e mail address with his request. The lady in question opened her mail and wondered how after all these years he had remembered her.

He neatly printed on his note pad "I wouldn't let the angels come for me until I had seen you once more". She squeezed his hand and kissed him on the cheek. Michael's vital signs rose from nearly flat to a steady healthy rhythm. He pulled the wires and tubes like an old radio he once tried to build and sat up with a twinkle in his eyes. Michael spoke for the first time and said to a lost part of his life, "I love you still".
