one word~bleep

bleep.

bleep.

bleep.

the heart monitor kept up the steady sound, letting all of us know he clung to life. my parents sobbed, sitting there, watching my brother, who had been my friend in childhood and grew to be my nemesis. the man i deleted from my bio's i submitted when my agent asked for one.

bleep.

bleep.

bleep.

would anyone notice i was the only one praying for it to flatline?

  2. when you have stood at a bedside, hearing that bleep, waited for it to silence, you know that the most bizarre things can go through your mind. Real and not so odd to me. That might come under the category of TMI...

  3. Sometimes it all makes sense, and other times it doesn't....I just wish we could pick and choose as needed.
