A Dad's Struggle

"Mommy?" Bandit asked Lindsey as they were driving home.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong with Daddy?"

"He, uhm. He's sick and the doctors are going to give him a shot, then they'll look at him using a machine to help him."

"Is Daddy going to be scared?"

"I don't think so, he's gonna be brave, for us."

"I love him."

"Me too, hun."

They drove home and went to bed.

"Are you all set Gerard?" A nurse asked him as he was lying on th MRI table.

"Y...Yea."

Gerard was slid into the chamber and heard faint drum beats.

So far so good.. He thought.

Then he felt a pinprick in his arm. He got a shot.

"AAH!!" Gerard gasped.

The nurse tried to confort him. He was done an hour later and was taken to his room.

"I don't like it here.." He mumbled before falling asleep.
