Fireflies
“David said to the nurse. “I made a mistake. I’d better get up to the Bone Marrow Ward.”
“But you didn’t answer my question. How’s Matt doing? Is he okay?”
“The answer’s too complicated. It depends.”
“On …?”
“If you look forward or back.”
“What?”
“Right now, he’s doing well.”
“He’s one of our favorite patients, you know. He’s so brave. We love his sense of humor.”
“So do I. Believe me, so do I. For what it’s worth, I think you and the rest of the staff did a wonderful job.”
“Keep us posted.”
Yea...h, David thought, but I hope the message isn’t the disaster of my nightmare.
“I’ll let you know. Right now I’d better get up to where I belong.”
