"You didn't stop for gas, didn't you?" Sandra asked. She was always like that, nagging around and ordering me. However, I got used to it. The five foot four with short dark brown hair and brown eyes, pale skinned and skinny framed woman who always argue with me. She's my co worker and my partner so I just got used to it. We are at the middle of the highway and we just ran out of gas, luckily there is a store nearby that sells illegally contained petroleum. "Ta-daa! we're good to go!" I exclaimed, "You could get in trouble for this you know?" she sighed and looked stern. "Relax, besides we have a patient waiting for us." As we drove towards Calamba City
It was nostalgic. Going back to the city where I once lived but it bothers me that we are here for a dying patient. After a long 2 hour drive we finally got to the house. Supposedly it's only half an hour but we got lost since a lot have changed ever since I left. I and Sandra was left in awe when we saw that the house was a mansion and it had fifteen cars! I mean, who needs fifteen cars?!
An old lady welcomed us into the mansion and introduced herself as the patient's wife. "You're the people right? The one who will do the procedure?" "Yes ma'am" Sandra replied. Her name is Francine. Francine has a great posture for her age however, the wrinkled skin and grey hairs gave it away. She asked how the procedure will go, Sandra refused to speak as it will only waste time. But I insisted to explain while she set up the machine.
"We are going to enter your husband's mind then we will make changes in his memory. We will fulfill his wish however, it's all in the mind. People usually coming to us are those who have regrets and wish to correct them. Now that I mentioned it, what is your husband's wish and his regret?" "He was a serial killer and he wished for a normal life" I got fazed for a moment and looked at Sandra. She is pretending as if she never heard anything. Francine noticed my expression so she offered me a cup of tea. I burnt my tongue and decided to start the procedure. The doctor came to us and introduced herself as Janice. "Please take care, whatever you do please stay calm. also, you don't have much time. He doesn't seem to be responding to the medication and he's in coma for a week." I nodded at her and made a reassuring smile. I looked at Sandra and proceed with the machine.
