FIONA

I was somewhere between sleep and consciousness, in that place where dreams and reality mix into kind of a hazy awareness. And so it was within that state I thought I heard the sound of my cell phone ringing.

I ignored the sound at first, accepting it as part of my unconscious state, but the irritant persisted, and before long my eyes fluttered open. In the dark of my bedroom, I looked to my right and noticed the flashing blue screen on my device.

I extended my arm and slapped my hand down on top of it, dragging it from the nightstand. As I turned it over, I noticed a phone number unfamiliar to me.

“Who the hell is calling me at three o’clock in the morning?” I muttered.

Still half asleep, I swiped the phone on and answered.

“Miss… Matthews?” A strange voice said on the other end of the line.

I licked my lips, still trying to come to full consciousness.

“Yes?” I said as I propped myself up on one elbow. “This is Miss Matthews.”

Over the next several minutes, I listened in horror as a nurse from the floor where my grandmother was in the hospital told me about her condition. Apparently, she had several episodes where she’d lost consciousness and stopped breathing. The doctors were on their way, but even after consulting with the nurses over the phone, they didn’t know what the problem might be. As she finished bringing me up-to-date, I sat up in my bed and turned on a nearby lamp.

“What are you telling me?” I asked her.

Without a moment’s hesitation, she responded, “Ma’am I’m telling you that you need to come to the hospital right away. At this point, your grandmother is stable, but we have no way of knowing if her condition might worsen.”

“Okay, okay… I’ll, um, be there soon as I can.”

After hanging up the phone, I rushed about and got dressed as quickly as possible. Within ten minutes, I was in my car and on my way across town to the hospital.

The elevator doors opened and I hurried in the direction of my grandmother’s room. As I entered, I noticed a couple of nurses and my grandmother’s primary doctor attending to her.

Even from across the room, I could tell something was terribly wrong. Her skin appeared ashen and lifeless. Horrified, I drew my hands towards my face and covered my mouth with them. Without realizing it, I began to cry. Salty streams gushed from my eyes and ran down over my fingers in heated ripples.

I felt frozen in place as I watched what looked to be my grandmother’s final moments unfold before my eyes. Just then, one of the nurses happen to turn and look at me. Reaching for a box of tissues next to my grandmother’s bed, she hurried in my direction. As she approached, she grasped several tissues, snatching them from inside the box.

“Here,” she said as she passed them to me.

My hands trembled as I pulled them away from my face and reached for the tissue.
