My Life Without Me Page #3

---

A piece of...? Yeah.

It's pretty good...

what flavour is that?

Ginger.

It's pretty good.

It's a bit hot, but it's okay.

I've... I've prepared some leaflets,

which more or less

explain everything,

and some recipes

to help ease the nausea,

and I'd like to see you

next week.

I've given you an appointment

and my direct line

in case you need to call me.

Yeah... Okay.

Do you have another piece of candy?

One for the road?

I'm sorry, that was my last one...

Next week

I'll have more... candy.

Your Dad used to drnk a bottle

of bourbon and call it breakfast.

You get wired if you drink

so much as a beer.

You didn't even take drugs

during high school,

just the odd drag

of Don's joint.

Without inhaling, like that guy who used

to be President of the United States,

that guy Bill Clinton.

So, were they waiting long?

Oh, good.

Good, thanks a lot, Mom.

I owe you one.

No, no, they're doing

blood analysis.

Apparently I've got anaemia...

that's why I've been fainting.

You know they're like, once they've

got you, they don't want to let you go.

Trying out some new machine,

they're like little kids.

You know, I should go, Mom,

'cause the nurse is coming to get me,

I've got to go.

Okay, bye, thanks a lot.

Now you feel like you want to take

all the drugs in the world.

But all the drugs in the world

aren't going to change the feeling

that your whole life's been a dream

and it's only now that you're waking up.

"But I like to eat cake in a tub",

laughed the cat.

"You should try it sometime",

laughed the cat as he sat.

And then I got mad,

there was no time for fun.

I said "Cat you get out!"

Hi, Mommy.

Hi. You've been good?

Mom, can you tell us a story?

Daddy says it too fast.

Hey. Thanks a lot. You little monster.

I don't read them too fast.

- How are you?

- Good. I've got anaemia,

that's why I've been fainting,

so they gave me some iron and vitamins.

How did it go with Lance?

I start on Monday.

Hey, no way! That's so good.

Yes. I know, and there's enough work

for a year at least.

- That's so great!

- I know, it's great.

- Did you give the girls something to eat?

- Daddy gave us milk shakes and fries.

He said we mustn't tell you.

It was so nice.

Mommy, I ate all my fries

and all my milk shake.

Fries are vegetables, right? They're

potatoes, which is a very good food.

It's one of the food groups.

I'm sorry,

it was a little treat. I just got a job.

- What is wrong with you?

- I'm sorry.

- Okay. The rafters, in a second.

- Can I stay, or should I go?

You can stay.

That's okay. Good night, you two.

Close our eyes.

Close our eyes.

We're setting off. Okay?

Oh, no!

It's getting wavier and wavier
