Where did this come from? It’s a nice day in south Florida‚ cool winds and cloudy skies. You wake up feeling rather cold for the middle of summer. You get up and greet your family in the kitchen with a tired smile. “I’m going to take a shower” you said.

The glazed tiles reflected on my tired eyes not allowing to be opened. I slowly started blinking‚ harmfully blinking my eyes to see where I am. I scrunched my eyes at the bright shining light of the operation theatre. Imagining what all I had gone through in the past hours‚ I felt relieved. Thanking god to keep me alive‚ and letting me save the lives of those innocent people who have suffered so much. The nurse approached me and inquired about my health. It was more of a routine‚ and I was dragging

My heart sank as I heard the words leave my mom’s mouth. I had dreaded this time for all of my life previous to this moment. My initial response was one of disbelief‚ “this can’t be happening”‚ I thought to myself. She was just a little sick‚ how did this get so serious?

“‘Charles?’ she said. ‘We don’t have any Charles in the kindergarten.’” “Charlie‚ then‚” I told her‚ relaxing against the wall‚ “Charles is just what Laurie calls him.” Of course‚ with Laurie just in kindergarten‚ he must have given him a nickname. However‚ the teacher’s face still did not show any sign of recognition. “No‚ we don’t have any Charlie either‚” she said‚ brow furrowed‚ as she tucked a strand of long‚ dark hair behind her ear. “I’m not sure who this ‘Charles’ is.
