Chapter Five: HumanA Chapter by Taig FerrierTom has feels.I heard a woman's voice voice speaking to me. It sounded kind of familiar, for some reason. It was soft, yet determined. It was almost apologetic, but proud at the same time. It was odd. You are human, in the end. She said to me. I woke with a start. What the hell was that... I asked myself, beginning to question my mental stability. Whatever...I have more important things to do. I decided. I looked over at Izzy. She looked so helpless, so vulnerable. She had an IV and a heart rate monitor with an oxygen mask. A coma is a terrible thing. I hope, that when all this is over, Izzy and Alex die before me. Not because I wish to live without them, but because I never want them to see me this way. I never want them to feel like I do now. I gripped her hand, repeating to her the last thing I said before she slipped into her coma. I'm alive. I thought to myself. Am I really? What if this was all some sick, twisted nightmare? What if I was in hell? This would be an adequate punishment, surely. But no, sadly, I knew all this was really happening. I set my head down on my arms, my hand refusing to let go of Izzy. I was aware of Alex watching us through the window but I didn’t care. In front of her, and everyone, I cried. After all, I told myself, still trying to make sense of what I heard earlier, We're all human, in the end... I think I was trying to convince myself of this fact. It wasn't working. I may be human in the end, but right now, I don't know what I am. I can only hope I'm still the man Izzy loves. © 2014 Taig Ferrier |
