Proof That The Writer Doesn't Care How The Character Feels MAG
He's nervous,
he has second thoughts.
The doctor says he has
nothing to worry about.
Which means he has
everything to worry about.
He starts trembling and shaking,
Which is the last thing they need
Because blood doesn't clean easily.
The doctor says,
“The drugs should kick in soon,”
Which means the drugs
will never kick in.
He starts thinking
about all the bad he's done.
He feels guilty, really guilty.
He starts to pray, but he's too nervous to finish.
The drugs still haven't kicked in yet,
But fear has,
and now he's petrified.
He wants his mommy.
His wife asked
if she could sit with him.
His boys asked also,
but he refused.
He really wants his mommy.
The doctor grabs his tool and starts working.
Now he's terrified.
He starts squirming.
The drugs still haven't kicked in yet.
“Narrator, do something,” he says.
So I say, “Doctor, Please,
I don't think that arm goes in there.”

It's funny. I totally don't like really sad books but all the novels that I think of writing all have the main character dying in the end. Somehow it doesn't feel as sad when it's your own story. :)
Nice job. I enjoyed reading this. And again, reminded me of House because of the doctor stuff. You should seriously think of watching that show more often.
