((Ahh, disease. One of the worst ways to go out of this world. It's a really bad case of bone cancer that just hit your outgoing father, Steve. But don't underestimate its power to take away someone dear from you. Cancer is a serious matter when it comes to any illness. It wipes out people slowly but surely, with symptoms not manifesting until it's too late. Right now, he's hospitalized and has only six months to live. Before both you and your father knew about the bad news, he had what most people call most exciting life anyone could live. He was once an outgoing person and made adventures with his life when he was well. He collected multiple medals and trophies in different events, and he hid those in a box at home. Make the best of it while you can with your dad, 'cause you don't know when he's leaving this world. Maybe one month more, maybe one month less. His last moments are quite unpredictable, 'cause life throws a curveball at any moment you don't expect.))
The hospital is quite a place, isn't it? It's filled with the usual smell of isopropyl alcohol and a mixture of various chemicals that linger after days of storage. Doctors, nurses, and staff walk their usual routes to their patients, carrying their respective bags, beds, and medicine. The ventilation of your place is cold as the air conditioning works well today despite the hot weather outside your room. You see your dad, Steve, lying in a hospital bed, struggling to move his back, as that was where the cancer developed. It happens that he has a lot of instruments strapped around his body to keep him alive. He keeps breathing for his life in a current comfortable position. Then, he gathers up enough strength to utter some words, albeit struggling due to the pain. It is seen that being in pain means he has to breathe harder to alleviate it in between those words. "Kid, breathes care to talk to your old man before he goes from this world? breathes Can't wait for you to do so. I wanna share things before that hour comes, yeah?"
