MOTH MAN CHAPTER II BY CHERYL V.

CHAPTER II

His wife said to him, one morning, when she happened to have a severe headache at that time, “Honey, I don’t know what’s going on with me, but it seems that every time, I wake up in the morning, I seem to get these headaches, which seem to last for hours. And then, I have trouble concentrating on getting anything done around this house.”

“Well, you, what I think, my dear? I think, since, you can’t seem to eat anything, and I’ve, already, grabbed something to eat, that I’m going to take you over to the hospital.”

“Why do I need to go to the hospital of all things?”

“You need to get checked out, because it’s not normal to keep having these headaches, which don’t want to go away until much of your day has been wasted, and you’re not even aware when it’s gotten behind you.”

So, although she was feeling very sick, and couldn’t eat a darn thing, she, at least, had some coffee.

Then, since, he could seem to sense, that there might be something wrong with her. He, then, jus happened to have seen her, keel over, and then, he couldn’t jus allow her to lie, there, on the floor in her condition.

So, he, gently, scooped her up into his arms, and being she was dressed, already, being she had slept in her regular clothes, all night long; he kind of rushed her to the front door.

And since, it was raining cats and dogs, he, then, placed a poncho over her.

Upon scooping her up into his arms, again, after he slid on a poncho, he, then, felt an urge to do something for her, right away.

So, then, since, he had forgotten to close the door, last night, or thought, he did, because it was wide open, he rushed over to the black Seville with her in his arms, after checking the front door, twice, making sure it was locked. And upon holding her in one arm, because he was such a strong person, he opened the back door of his car, and then, lay her right on the back seat, and placed a seat belt over her.

Then, upon hopping into the driver’s seat, drove her at a great speed to the nearest hospital, which were a few miles away.

He, thought, he was going to get sidetracked, again, and forget where he was going. However, it seemed like some unknown force guided him right over to the hospital, without him, even knowing why he was going, there, in the first place.

Upon arriving on the street to the hospital, he thought, he was getting sidetracked, because he happened to see something, flash before his very eyes, but managed to find the entrance to the hospital.

Upon pulling into the parking lot, his wife seemed to let out a scream, because she’d jus seen some black thing, flash before her very eyes. However, he wasn’t aware of this happening to her at the time, until he parked the car, and then, opened the back car door on the left side.

It was then, that she screamed out, “There’s that black figured, again, and it’s trying to run me over.”

Then, she turned very incoherent, as he had to carry her through the parking lot over to the emergency entrance of the hospital.

Upon arriving, there, an intern had happened to have heard her, screaming, and thinking she was in pain, rushed out the doors with a wheelchair, which, Mark, quickly, placed his wife in, while she seemed to be very limp and out it, but not in a coma at the time.

So, her husband, Mark, whom she has been married to for about a year’s time, followed the intern into the hospital and through the hall over to where the desk was at. And while the intern took care of her, and wheeled her over to a bed, Mark signed in for her.

And jus as he was done, signing her in, he ran over to her bed, and there, a doctor was talking to her at the time. And although, she couldn’t tell him, everything, which has been going on with her, Mark told the doctor, all he could, with her seeming to be half out of it.

“Well, she’s been having these headaches, which are affecting her concentration, and have been, literally, trying to take everything out of her.”

“All I can conclude from what she has told me is that she is in need of x-rays of her head, and we need to find out, what’s been causing her nightmares and headaches, and making it hard for her to sleep at night for the past week or so.”

“What are you trying to tell me, doctor?”

“I’m afraid that she might be having migraine headaches, or it could turn out to be something more serious than this. The nurse is on her way over here, and so an intern with a wheelchair. What she, really, needs at time, is an MRI, which when we have the results of the x-rays, should explain jus why she’s having these bad headaches, and insomnia.”

“Another thing is that at times, she’s been fainting and falling out of bed at night. And she hasn’t seemed to hurt herself, yet, but she can’t continue this way, either. It could undermine her health in every way.”

“Don’t worry about anything, yet, because she has to have this MRI, first, before I can make any judgment on her condition.”

So, then, the nurse has jus arrived, and also, an intern with a wheelchair for Mark’s wife.

He was jus sitting in the lobby at this time, feeling very worried over his wife, and especially, that something could be very wrong with her. Then, all of a sudden, he started hearing these screeching voices, which seemed to subside, as his wife was having her MRI, a half hour later.

While she was having her MRI, he, still, patiently, waited in the lobby, for the doctor to come and get him and tells him, what’s been going on with hr? So, it didn’t take long for his wife, to have her MRI. And she seemed very scared to the doctor, whom was watching the x=rays as she was having her MRI.

As soon as the MRI was finished, an intern came to get her, and he, upon helping her into a wheelchair, then, took her back to her bed.

And there, Mark met her, jus after the doctor was telling him, some information; he needed to know about her. He said to Mark, “The thing is that it won’t be long before the x-rays are read. And the specialist, whom performed the MRI on your wife, is reading the x-rays, right now.”

So, then, Mark stayed with his wife, whom seemed to be out of it, again, which, deeply, worried him.

In the meanwhile, as the doctor looked at the x-rays, he then, walked over to him, whom was sitting on the edge of a bed. Jus as the doctor took him over to the x-ray room, his wife, still, seemed jus to be lying, there, on a bed, seemingly, out of it at this time, as he has this worried look on his face.

Then, the doctor said to him, jus as he stood up and was looking at the x-rays with the doctor, “For one thing, it is very apparent that there is this big mass on her brain, which means that she has a brain tumor, which has to be opened on right away to save her life.”

However, Mark couldn’t say a word, being that tears came to eyes, and that made him, choke up inside.

Then, he walked over to his wife along with the doctor, and the doctor told her, “We are going to have to operated on you, right away, and do some brain surgery on you, which is going to be very risky. And chances are good, that the brain surgeons will get the entire tumor out of your brain.”

She couldn’t say anything to him, being tears were in her eyes, and she was aware, she might not live through the operation, although, chances of survival were pretty good with the operation.

So, then, Mark ended up waiting in the lobby, while the brain surgeons went to work on his wife, and it happened, that the surgery took a few hours. During the whole time, the surgery was going on, Mark jus tried to stay calm.

Also, he jus allowed himself to take a big nap, hoping that the surgery, soon, would be over with, and that his wife would end up being able to live through the surgery, and have a full recovery, afterwards.

A few hours later, jus after all the surgeons left the operating room, it jus happened that he noticed that his wife wasn’t in her bed at this time. So, then, as the doctor came into the waiting room, he has a gloomy look on his face.

So, Mark, jus knows his wife didn’t survive the surgery after all, so the doctor said to him, as he was sitting in the lobby, “I’m afraid I have some bad news for you,” as Mark, again, has tears in his eyes, “you wife, apparently, didn’t live through the surgery. The brain surgeons were unable to remove all of her tumor”
Then, Bill didn’t know what to say at this time. All that went through his mind at that time is what happened jus before his wife went in for surgery.

BLACKFLASH:

On the way to the hospital, hours ago, Mark, somehow, had ended up getting sidetracked. And on the way, he and his wife had stopped at Captain’s Place jus off of the highway in New Pleasant, to get something to eat. However, although, he had ordered something to eat, for some odd reason, he couldn’t figure out at that time, she wouldn’t eat anything.

Upon the two getting back into his car, jus after he had finished eating a hamburger and had some hot green tea along with it, and had, then, paid his bill, he had made a big mistake in allowing her to drive. And at that time, he had, also, been uncertain about how she would be able to take driving, there, to the hospital in her current condition.

On the way, although, he hadn’t been aware of it at the time, his wife jus had happened to see this black creature, flash before her eyes in the form of red lights, which creature, to her, had appeared to her like some huge inhumane black moth man in a black cloak.

Jus because the creature had wanted this to happen to her of all people, this moth-like creature had caused her to lose track of where she had been driving, and had, also, made her, become uncoordinated, and not able to see jus where she had been heading with Mark’s car.


Then, this moth-like creature’s flashing red eyes had caused her to steer out of the lane, and this semi-truck driver, upon having noticed her, going in and out of her lane, had ended up crashing right into Mark’s car through the back window of the car.

Jus as this semi-truck driver had crashed into the car, it had caused her hands to slip off the steering wheel as she had been thrown off track.

Mark had ended up on the floor of the car, being he hadn’t been wearing his seat belt. However, being she had been wearing her seat belt, she hadn’t gone through the windshield, but had end up half lying on the front seat of the car, as the force of the semi-truck had caused the windshield to shatter. And this glass had cut her face and arms up, as the shattered glass had fallen all over her face and arms.

Then, he had, slowly, been able to help himself, back up, and as he had, then, leaned over the front seat, and had asked her if she was alright, she hadn’t responded to him at all. So, then, he had kept leaning over the seat, and, carefully, had checked her out. Upon doing so, he, finally, had, blindly, seemed to have awakened, abruptly, to reality.

And then, he couldn’t help noticing, that she had seemed at that time, as though, she could be in a coma, while she had, still, been lying on the back car seat with blood all over her face and arms.

Since, at that time, he hadn’t been able to revive her, and hadn’t gotten any pulse out of her, except for a faint pulse, he hadn’t wanted to fool around with her. However, he, quickly, had thought, that he had saved her life, at least, jus because he, finally, he had been able to get a pulse out of her.

So, then, really, not knowing, exactly, what he should have done at that time, he, then, had left her, lying in the back seat of the car, while she, still, had been in a comatose state. And then, after having tied her down to the back seat with some rope from the trunk, so, hopefully, her injuries wouldn’t get any worse, he, then, had crawled back into the driver’s seat.

And after he had done so, he had taken it upon himself, as he had no other choice, to drive her the rest of the way right over to the hospital, jus because at that time, he had felt, he could get her to the hospital in time. Also, he had felt at that time, that she couldn’t become any worse, for him, to have to call 911, and that it wouldn’t do much good if he did call, anyways.

He figured, that it would be better for her, if he jus went ahead, and drove her, there, instead of waiting for the paramedics, which he thought, wouldn’t do much good for her, right now, anyways.

And at that time, for some uncanny reason, some unknown force had driven him to take her over to the hospital, himself, although, at that time, to him, it had seemed, as though, she, soon, would be out of her coma.

By the time, he had arrived over at the hospital, to him; she had seemed to be out of her coma. Although, jus for safety, he had to get an intern to take her in a wheelchair right over to emergency at that time, jus because he had felt, that she hadn’t been in any condition, to try to walk with him over to the emergency entrance.

Then, by the time, the intern had gotten her into the emergency area, and into one of the beds, there, she had slipped back into her coma. And then emergency physician, then, had to place her on oxygen, right away, being that she hadn’t been able to breathe on her own at that time, and had been in very bad shape, jus because while he had been signing her into emergency, she continued to stay in her coma.

Then, the emergency physician suspected that in her, having had her severe headaches, and brain fogginess for a week or so, that something very serious had been wrong with her at that time, from what Mark had told the emergency physician. And that this hadn’t been something, which he could fool around with, being that he had sensed, that something could be, deadly, and wrong with her.

So, then, a nurse had, immediately, been ordered to bring her to the next floor for a MRI, while he had been waiting in the lobby for the latest news on her.

Jus after she had been put through this machine for her MRI, the emergency physician jus had happened to find this huge mass on her brain. So, then, Bill, still had to wait a few hours more in the lobby, while emergency surgery had been performed on her brain.
And then as soon as the surgeons had been done on her, the emergency physician had received the latest news on her.

As he, personally, had gone over to the lobby, to talk to him, at that time, the doctor had said to him, “Well, I have some bad news for you. Upon her, having been put through the machine for her MRI, the doctor had happened to find this huge mass on her brain.”

Jus because the doctor had paused at that point, Mark, then, had said to him, while feeling very impatient and nervous, “I known darn well, jus by the way, you’re acting at this time, that something has gone wrong with my wife. Now, tell me, what’s going on with her at this time?”

“Well, the bad news is that from the MRI, this huge mass has been discovered in her brain. And not even knowing for sure, what this huge mass was, the brain surgeons had done emergency surgery on her. However, the brain surgeons weren’t able to remove the entire tumor from her brain.”

At this point, he jus hadn’t known what else to say to the doctor, although, the doctor had said to him, a bit inpatient, himself, “You can go to the critical care unit to see her, however, I’m afraid that she might not live much longer. In fact, she could die any time, now.”

He jus hadn’t known what to say to the doctor at that time, as the doctor, then, had led him right over to the critical care unit. And once, they had arrived, there, his wife had seemed to be in a coma and on a ventilator.

So, then, although, he had been in tears at the time, and jus hadn’t known what to say to his wife, he, then, had held her hand for awhile, hoping she wouldn’t die on him, and that she would come out of her coma jus for him.

At that time, for some uncanny reason, she hadn’t been able to sense, exactly, what he had been saying to her. Although, usually, when a person is in a coma, that person, usually, is able to hear and sense everything, which has been going on around her or him at that time.

After being with her for a few hours, all of a sudden, she had started moving all over the place. So, immediately, he had called a nurse into the room. However, by the time, the nurse had arrived into the room where his wife, still, had been on a ventilator, suddenly, she had started shaking.

However, then, the nurse had noticed that she, still, had been in a coma. So, then, she, noticing that his wife, suddenly, had seemed to come out of her coma about a half hour later, at that time, the nurse had given her, some medicine through her IV . And then, the nurse had been hoping that the medicine, she had jus given her, would have been able to stop her from having any more seizures, thus having kept her from slipping back into a coma.

Jus as the nurse had left the room, then, he had noticed, that his wife wouldn’t even respond to him. However, jus then, the doctor had walked into the room to see how she had been doing. Then, he jus had happened to notice, that she hadn’t been doing good at all at that time.

So, then, he, unwillingly, had gone ahead, and had signed some papers, for his wife, not to be revived, anymore, if she had coded. And that had been, exactly, what had happened to her. So, then, he had jus stood by his wife’s side, and had been watching her, die, while having been, fully, aware, o what his wife had been going through at that time.

And jus as he had noticed his wife, take her last breath, at that time, the moth-like creature had appeared to him in flashing red lights. So, then, he had known, exactly, what had caused her to die from a brain tumor.

Her body had happened to be over at the morgue, and an autopsy had been performed on her by order of the doctor, who had looked after her over at the hospital.

After the actual autopsy had been performed, no cause was found for her death, not even a brain tumor was found in her brain, which, really, puzzled Mark and the doctor, too.

Jus after this incident, the police woman agreed to team up with Bill, again, try to try to handle his wife’s case, and to try to find out, if her death, in any way, has been linked to the moth man.
