THE CALL

Andrew.

Waiting.

Hoping.

Dying.

Waiting.

in ICU, out of ICU, home, in ICU, out again, home.

How much longer?

Time goes by.

How much longer?

Will too much time go by?

When will the music change? the beat of life to a distant drum that resounds in the night- thump, thump, thump, slowly it stops. Someone dies, someone gives.

THE CALL comes. Andrew lives. The beat continues as the lungs breathe new life into a tired body. Thump, thump, thump.
