HIM
Just as I feared.
I could not keep my promise.
An ambush waited for my team.
I hear the yelling, the gun shots.
Then nothing.
Nothing but blackness and silence.
HER
I hear a knock on the door.
I wondered who it could be.
As I feared.
I got the letter.
It read...
** Dear Mrs. Alexander**
We are so sorry to say that your husband has been
injured in the battle field.
He is being flown over to a local hospital.
**He is in critical condition, and in a coma. **
You will be informed when you may come and visit.
Sincerely,
The United States Air Force.
NO!
NO!
NO!
How could this happen?
Why?
I cried for hours.
Knowing that he is alive is a blessing,
But knowing he could die is a curse.
HIM
Her.
All I see is her.
Nothing else.
No one else.
Just her.
Its her love that keeps me alive.
I will wake up from this coma.
and when I do I will love her like there is no tomorrow.
