“Okay Reid. I've had it with you. I'm giving these e-mails to Doctor
Wes. I can hear him coming. He's in the corridor, on his way in to 
check on you.” 

“Check on me for what? Has he read my work? Did you tell him I'm a
published author? Was he impressed?” 

“Yes, he said you impressed him very much, but for what, I'm not
supposed to say.” 

“Then when can I leave? I need to get home to finish my novel. I can't
do it from here. It's too hard with all the distractions.” 

“Soon. As soon as you get better.” 

“But I'm great! I told you. With any more adulation from my fans, or if
I had any more talent, I'd burst!” 

“Yes, I know. We've been through that. Just be patient and take your
medicine.” 

“By medicine, I suppose you mean that I should be swallowing all those
lies you've been feeding me, but I won't! You'll never have me 
believing you! Never!” 

So anyway, here I am, stuck in this God forsaken hospital writing this
out to you from the computer lab, when I should be home getting some 
serious writing done. I only wish my wife knew what I have to go 
through to get a good story drawn up and completed. And this constant 
argument we have going on about my friends is just ridiculous. Really 
though, all that matters is that I know the truth and they know the 
truth and now you know the truth too... right?
