Anna I'm having fun here Anna's Avatar Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 436 Dr Cavenaugh was a small portly fellow with a bushy mustache, bifocals, a low voice and a wheezing laugh. He was a cigar smoker and his teeth were stained yellow from years of tobacco. His smoking and weight had taken their toll, which was evident by the sweat stains on his white lab coat and his deep heavy breathing; he always sounded as if he had just run the marathon. Sometimes when he was looking intensely at a patient's wound or listening quietly to their heart he'd breath out long and heavy and spit would shoot out through his nose. That day, at the hospital, his nose spit on Spencer's hand. He felt like he was pricked with a needle, is was cold and Spencer didn't like the feeling. He slid his hand slowly and carefully under the blanket, so the doctor wouldn't notice, and he rubbed the top of his hand hard under the stiff starched sheets. He tried to wear away any of the spit that may have soaked into his skin. He rubbed it until the top of his hand turned red and raw. When Dr Cavenaugh finished looking Spencer over he breathed deep and said, "Well, my boy, you're gong to be alright, sore for a couple of weeks, but you'll be fine. You keep those stitches clean now... But, he stopped short and sighed, looking over his bifocals straight into Spencer's deep blue eyes,I can tell you're a good boy and you won't make a fuss about it." Then he smiled, "You take care now, and I'll see you in a couple of weeks. How's that?" Spencer pursed his lips and nodded his head, yes. When Dr. Cavenaugh left, the room fell silent. Spencer could hear the birds outside the window and as his attention drifted towards their chirping. He saw his father leaning against the window frame and began to stare at him. His head was down almost resting on the sill. From a distance it looked as if his body was slumped and for that moment the once tall and strong man he looked up to and feared now seemed old, weak and beaten. Spencer thought he was about to see his father cry. "What' cha thinkin' about dad?" ^Like that. |
