Good Robot

I was ready to go out and I walked into my father’s bedroom to say good night and it was so dark, that I nearly tripped on the power cord leading to the opposite side of the bed. The tape had weekend and the cord was becoming lose again. I needed new tape soon or one day I would forget and unplug the whole thing.
It would be terrible, since the cord runs from the outlet of the left wall and runs across the door entrance, under a carpet and then to the right side of the room. It runs under the bed and leads to a heart and lung machine which keeps my father alive. There’s a steady churn of the machine, which pumps air and life into his veins. Near the machine is an IV stand, in which the nurse comes to change everyday at four o’clock.
I waited for a few moments for Irene to arrive. She and I were going to dinner.
