Chapter One
Tad Short stood near the hospital door.
He sipped a can of Coke, as he was thinking about the dead woman in the sick bed; he knew his Mom wouldn't survive. 'She has the fever', he said to Doctor Irina Kaplan.
'I'm sorry, she's dying'.
He nodded, and knew that he wanted to see his father, who was in Seattle. He waited, and placed the can in the silvery trash bin. Then he texted him to let him know that his ex-wife was dead, and to pick him up from the New York Hospital, which was a long way away from the city that never sleeps.
