Chapter 3

 

Damn this town for being so big! If it was just two miles smaller I would have gotten him to a hospital by now! I thought to myself. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, swiftly dodging past every pedestrian in my way, struggling to go any faster due to the extra weight of my little brother. I could see the hospital from where I was, but it seemed so far away. I'm so afraid if I don't get there I could lose him.

 

Faster, faster, faster! The only thought that passed my mind. The large swiveling glass doors seemed miles from where I was. That impossibly large white building looked so small.

 

At last I was able to reach the hospital, just in time too. Kisho looked like he was going to depart from this world. His skin was turning plaster white and getting cold. There was just the slightest bit of life left in his eyes.

 

A nurse walked up to me. Worry swimming in her hazel eyes. “Can I help you miss?” I wanted to yell `Are you stupid woman! Of cource I need help, cant you see he is dying!!' But luckily I kept my bearings and was as nice as I could be.

 

“Yes I do. My brother needs urgent help. But there is one small problem.”

 

“And that is?”

 

“We have no money.”

 

She looked at me in a way that made me feel like a complete dunce. My impression was that she wanted to say `If you're broke then why did you walk in here in the first place'. I had a very bad feeling about that look.

 

“I'm sorry mam, but if you cannot pay then we cannot care for him.”

 

I gritted my teeth and turned for the door. I knew that there was nothing that I could do. I knew that he was going to die now.
