Jonesy

After that day when Michael twitched his hand, I’d hold his fingers in mine and ask him to squeeze. One day he did. I was excited, but I wanted to be sure before I told Sharon. We worked out a system, Michael and me. One squeeze meant ‘yes’ and two quick squeezes meant ‘no’.

Michael would only respond sometimes. Even though he never opened his eyes, I could sense when he was deep asleep, and he wouldn’t squeeze my hand. Other times he seemed closer to the surface, and he could respond. At first, those times were very short, maybe only ten to twenty seconds. It was as if squeezing my hand was hard work, and he would soon slip back down again, like disappearing under black water.

I repeated myself a lot. “Hi, Michael. My name is Jonesy, and I’m your friend.”

Squeeze.
