Entry 3

I'm at a lost for words at the moment. Am I losing all sense of reality or did this actually happen? What ever the case may be I'm still going to write it down, it's much too interesting not to. It was just another ordinary day here in the hospital (or so I thought), nurses coming and going, checking my vitals and the like. I was debating whether or not I wanted to dive into the new mystery novel that a fellow patient had given me but then I took notice of the view outside the window. It was a beautiful day out, the sky was blue and the sun was shining, I would have given anything to be out there instead of stuffed up in this miserable room. That's when he burst in, the Doctor. He asked me if I noticed anything strange lately. Flabbergasted, I remembered that dream I had the other night, I'm sure it was a dream nonetheless. For some reason I felt as if I could tell him anything. He had an odd look on his face, not as if he didn't believe me but rather as if he did. He then excused himself and was gone. Later on, my nurse came into the room with my lunch tray, I asked her which doctor was in and she reported that no one was on schedule to see me today. Very odd indeed but I had no urge to push the subject. Once she left the room I sat down in front of my tray, I wasn't exactly in the mood to eat but I figured I would at least see what was on the menu. I had just uncovered the plate of food when the Doctor came running back into the room, he shouted "don't!" as he held out a strange tool in his hand and aimed it at the tray. Before I could make any sense out of the situation there stood on my tray an odd cut of meat, only it had feet, hands, and a face... a rather menacing looking face. It growled at the Doctor and then turned towards me and lunged! Suddenly I could hear the sound of my heart pounding, like it was about to burst out of my chest. The room started spinning and the next thing I knew I was surrounded by medical staff, they forced me down on the bed and started pumping me with oxygen. I felt someone holding my hand, I think they tried to say something to me but I blacked out. When I came to the Doctor was still in the room, he was sitting in the corner reading my mystery novel. Predictable he said. I was still a bit bewildered but I knew he wasn't a real 'doctor' and what happened earlier was no dream. I asked him if he was here to find that thing, he wasn't shy about it. He had been hunting these little creatures of mischief, beastly little things that feed on disease, something about it empowers them. They must have recently stumbled upon Earth which needless to say has provided them with a smorgasbord. He tracked one down here in my room and that's when we first crossed paths. He got up to leave, probably for good this time, so I asked him to take me with him. He protested at first but I pleaded with him, I don't want to spend what's left of my life cooped up in what might as well be a tiny prison. I have no family, no friends, I'm just an orphan with no claim to anyone or anything. All my life I've wanted to go on an adventure and do something extraordinary, for some reason I feel as if the Doctor is my ticket. He said on one condition, I need to find some clothes.


Farewell for now,

Entry 2

Something exceedingly weird just happened to me, I'm certain it was all just a dream because it would be rather impossible to have actually taken place. So lets just say I was dreaming, in which case I dreamt that my dinner was brought up to my room as per usual. I had some funny cut of meat and vegetables, and as I was about to cut into the meat it leapt off my tray and down onto the floor where it continued to run off across the room and out the door! Completely bogus, right!? That's why I assume it was a dream, that or a certain medication had me in quite the state of delusion. I cannot fathom it being real. I swear I'm not losing my mind, or am I?

Farewell for now,
P.P

Entry 1

Today I was delighted to receive this journal as a gift, of the many nurses that maintain my care a very kind woman decided it would be a nice gesture. She also suggested that perhaps I leave behind my legacy for all to read when I am gone. Unfortunately I won't have time enough to establish much of a reputation. See, I have an unknown disease that has the entire medical community baffled. Always the lucky one I am. It's unknown what the extent of my life span is but my frequent test results do not show hopeful conclusions. Slowly my numbers are declining and I admittedly can feel the strain of my body fighting for my very life. My apologies, I did wish to fill your heart full or sorrow. If it's of any consolation, I am not afraid but that is not to say that there isn't more I wish I could have done, places I could have seen, and food I could have eaten... in another life time I suppose.

Farewell for now,
P.P
