Faces
What if you
were to awaken finding yourself in a stark institutional room with all the trappings
of a St. Elsewhere set. Last you were
sure, you were on your way to work, driving the same route you'd driven every
day of the week, more than fifty weeks a year for what? Two and a half years.
What if you
were lying there, sort of watching and idly wondering about this woman
occupying herself by straightening cards on the windowsill and arranging
flowers in their vases.
What if
this woman you were casually wondering about turned out to be your best friend,
a college roommate of more than twenty years ago?
What if
you'd been looking right at her and not recognizing her! How can anyone
possibly reconcile permanent damage like that, not recognizing people you know,
damage resulting from a really-not-so-serious car accident? Permanent damage no
one else can see, let alone understand.
What if
your life, your vocation, and avocations were networking, knowing people,
recognizing people, with lots of face-to-face interaction. How do you keep on
going?

Silence
It's the story about a couple you could know—young hard-working people you might have invited over to your house. Decent people enjoying each other, their children, their friends, family, and their lives together.
Everything was better than normal, the boys were doing okay in school. Dan just got a new research project—and some more money. Carol was in line for a raise. They were that couple just happy—happy to be together. And then one night Carol didn't make it home from work. It was a twenty five or thirty mile highway commute on straight roads—not too heavily traveled, except for the trucks.
He's still young enough, just thirty - something. Together, he and Carol were already witnessing age and time sap the vitality, the personality, the life from his mother until Mum barely recognized them any more. Until they'd had to move her into the nursing home—for her own good.
Suddenly though, it's Carol, Dan's life partner, his wife and the mother of their two boys, eight and ten, frozen now in a coma and unresponsive week after week, and lying in the Intensive Care Unit at the hospital downtown.
