Chapter One
Travis paced the waiting room of the small hospital, waiting for
some kind of news. It had been two hours now and no one came
in to tell him anything. All he saw was doctors and nurses
working furiously to save her. He wondered by what miracle it
was that she was still alive, it had to be some sort of miracle
because the condition she was in she should be dead, and for a
minute, he thought she was dead, until he felt a very faint pulse
that was her clinging to life. Being in the waiting room he
began feeling claustrophobic. It was the antiseptic smell that
accompanied these places, bringing with it some memories he
did his best to forget. A sense of déjà vu was with him; he had
been here and done this five years ago. Pacing. Waiting.
