Borrowed Time

"Adam...."

"Adam... It's been three days. Last night, I dreamt that you'll wake up today... I wish you wake right now… I have to go for a few hours be right back soon okay.."

Adam could faintly hear a familiar voice calling him. Someone dear to him,  but he couldn't move nor say anything.

Daisy... Daisy... these words repeated in his mind... He was unable to control his body... 

Ba-dump. Ba-dump.

Suddenly, his heart started beating much faster and blood pumped rigorously all over his body.

Ever since the Doomsday started, most of the hospital's medical equipment had been broken, making it hard to properly monitor and do complicated medical procedures to the patients.

When the city started to rebuild and the generators kicked in, most of the main equipment had been fixed but the cardiac event recorder was one of the devices prioritized, after all, it was one of the things that could be left alone and monitor the patient's life sign.
