The contracted son in-law Alexander between here and there
Alexander, seem.to be travelling or was it swimming in a deep ocean. It was neither light nor dark, as she got off the ocean and stood by the shore, staring into the water. Around her was just grey. It was endless, silence grey. The kind of silence that wraps around your skin, like most and settles into your bones.She started moving, but she knows not where she was heading."Am I dead? She asked herself, looking around to see if anyone was around to answer her, but she was all alone. She was by herself. Then she remembered she was pregnant, she touched her stomach to be sure, her baby was still in there, but she could feel nothing.She start d panting heavily as she turned in a slow circle, her bare feet touching nothing and everything at once. There was no ground, no wind, no scent. Only the thick, heavy air and the echo if her own breath.

Annie stood frozen outside the doctor's office, her breath shallow. She tries to repeat what she had just heard the doctor say, but she just couldn't come to terms with it. It was so hard to comprehend.One donor, Two organs, what sort of miracle will that take? She asked rhetorically. That would probably take God himself to come down and take care of it.She turned and raced back to the room, her mind spinning. But when she stepped in, she stopped short.Was she seeing right, or was she imagining it all. From what she could see. Alexander's eyes were still closed, the same way she had left her, nothing has changed, but one thing she was sure changed was her fingers that were now curling slightly into her palm. It was slow, uncertain, but it was surely real. Annie rushed to her side, took her hand again, and this time, she was glad that it wasn't limp. Alexander reacted by folding her fingers against that of her friend. While holding her, Annie noticed that, there was faint warmth. W

"She's been like this since Mr Scott passed", Annie spoke almost in a whisper, even though she was explaining a stale news to Damien Brick. Annie's voice barely holding itself together as she stared at her friend's fragile figure on the hospital bed. She tries to speak, but she couldn't, her friend was not responding to anything.Mr Damien's eyes burned with quiet fury. All this could have been avoided, if only he never forced his daughter marry Ryan Scott. The regret was evident in his face, and his attitude shows transfer of aggression. He stamped his hands on the wall."This is all Ryan's fault", he spat. Looking like he needed to punch his hands on the wall, which he did, and he got hurt, but he acted as though he was feeling nothing, while Annie kept watching, if her friend is going to move, at least with all the commotion, it is enough to wake her up.Annie didn't respond directly to him, he didn't even want to take another look at him. Though She wanted to, but rage had numbed

This quality have no particular time, attached to it as it is there all the time, even when people come in mass. One would wonder if the spirits don't communicate, or everything said about spirits are not true. Only the rustling leaves a d distant chirping of birds broke the stillness. One who still feels the need to love, may not be comfortable to stay there for an hour, but not in the case of Ryan Scott.
