Summary
Steve has nightmares like this. Eddie hurt. Eddie pale. Eddie with blood around his mouth. Still like a dead body in hospital sheets. He has nightmares like this, but this isn’t a nightmare. It’s December 1992 and the person on the phone said critical condition.
Steve hasn’t spoken to Eddie since 1986, but the nurse on the phone called him, said come.
So he drove. Said he was his brother, of course, definitely. He signed some sort of form and put down his credit card because Eddie’s got no insurance and the man at the desk had suggested he wasn’t letting Steve back there without one. He’s not sure that’s legal. He’s going to look into it, but not now. Not when he has nightmares like this.
or: four days after Eddie’s been hurt and one day when he’s recovered.
