Description

The patient is a seventeen year-old boy who is thin and gawky. You briefly think to yourself that you probably looked a lot like him when you were his age. His father is beside him, an older version of you both, who sits with a vacant stare. Tears fall down the boy's face, but his eyes are alert. His chest heaves as he awaits the needle's puncture. You tell him to hold still and voice that it will only hurt a moment. "What does it matter?" he says. He has just been told him that his condition is terminal and that he will likely succumb before his next birthday. A tumor protrudes from the boy's temple, distorting his eyebrow. You swab it with alcohol and introduce the needle. Blood converges with tears on the boy's freckled cheek. His treatments aren't working, and you feel like this procedure is mostly for show. As if irritating the cells will facilitate an exorcism. You imagine yourself a tribal witch doctor, methodically poking the mass with a crude whittled stick to purge the bodily beast. Unfortunately, there's nothing anyone can do for the stoic father, whose unemotional reaction belies an unholy pain. This demon will haunt him long after his son is gone.
