Having memorized the ship’s layout I fastened my sight towards where I came from, to where the doctor was. I was going at a breakneck pace, my full concentration on getting back to the warmth. Like a bug to a light.

The now crimson tiny ball was leaving a small red imprint on my shoulder. I kept my pace, while swatting at the “weird bug”, it didn't move but I wiped the liquid off, staining the clear white floor.

President Mall? I thought, Do they know what I am? The consequence of that thought set in giving me a jolt of sharp pain around my whole body, almost making me trip. It’s cold, I never asked to have this body. I got closer and closer and approached the dimly lit halls that led into the auditorium.

I walked in scanning the auditorium for the doctor.

There he was, having not moved an inch since I left. “Hey, took you long enough”. I was still shaken from everything, I just wanted to warm up. I sat down besides him, looking at him fondly.

“All right let's start” Dr. Tylor opened the book and began reading the first chapter, the pain slowly residing with each word. He read so fluently, never breaking the story’s flow and driving my fascination wild. I could imagine it clearly, like I could live in it! He turned the page.

“Chapter 2 The Depth of your Eyes, Hey want to read some of this chapter?” he was glowing in anticipation. I was suddenly snapped out of my immersion, turning to the doctor. I sheepishly nodded, his excitement was visible. I wanted to try my best.

I paused and slumped over in shame. Such a disgusting voice. I was shaking as the pain came soaring back.

My words were so stuttered and slurred, I was in agony, my worthlessness laid bare.

“Hey” the doctor softly said “no one else is here, and we have all the time in the universe to keep trying”. I felt a change in my very core, but I couldn't have known what it meant at that time. Dr. Tylor didn't notice but I was able to smile if only for a second.

There was something I needed to do.

Doctor Tylor continued reading, and I read after him. We didn't get that far in the book that day, only finishing chapter 2. But of course we still met up every other day and read through each chapter together. With each chapter's end, my speech improved, the doctor leapt with joy, always encouraging me.381Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs1emOFpJg
