• Morning Thoughts | Posted by Granite_Grizz on Feb 18 2008

  I sat up and threw my feet over the floor. As they met carpet I groaned and stood.

  Many years have passed since the accident. They said that I was lucky. I thought they were cruel to lie to me. I was in agony. The pins in my knees. The screws in my head. Every movement made me want to scream.

  Every comment was more painful than the metal.

  My nurse was an insipid little brat that had decided to take up the profession because her favorite naughty outfit had been based on it. She hated the required smocks.

  I’m glad that she had to wear them for the three years that she spent wiping my rear.

  She married my nephew. He was smart in business, not in life. He had arranged my care and my finances. They are expecting their third child in two weeks. I need to buy them a gift.

  I walked to the bathroom and relieved myself, as I do every morning. As I wash my hands I avoid the mirror, I can’t stand to look at the scars. The hole in my head. I place the eye patch over my head and adjust it.

  Now I look into the mirror. My one grey eye looked back at me. I shaved the little stubble from my face. I looked away from the mirror and removed the patch. I entered the shower and turned on the bitter cold water, waiting for it to warm up. Waiting for it to take the night’s chill from my body.

  The water reminds me of the first time I saw her. It was raining in May. The warm rain of spring overstepping its boundaries and sending life into the summer. She was under a dark umbrella, but her smile reflected off a thousand drops of water. If only…

  The water’s cold now, and I turn it off. I wonder what makes today special. I don’t even know what day it is.

  These thoughts circle within the confines of my mind as I slip on the wet floor. The curtain wraps around me, my shroud. The tiled floor’s skeletal grin greets my prone head and delivers me.
