Grand-Papa Dream

I was holding Grand-Pa's hand telling him everything will be O.K. The Chief Nurse was gathering the materiel. That's usually my job but I guess she was being considerate since it was Grand Pa. I was also telling Grand-Pa to be brave... This new revolutionarian technique was suppose to heal every Grand Pa's problem... The Chief Nurse started the procedure and all along I watched... She took Grand Pa vein thanks to a little cut inside his wrist and started to take out that same vein. As she was doing so, Grand Pa skin was unfolding. His entire arm was now wide open and the vein like a snake in the Chief Nurse's hand. Grand Pa, strong and proud, was screaming internally with sounds escaping his body here and there. His face was red and ready to burst. He's always been so tough. I was supposed to assist the Chief Nurse but I could only watch. Watch and Pray, my mantra being: Grand Pa be brave, please please...it won't last, please please... just another vein... The Chief Nurse was pulling out other veins now... Grand Pa's skin was like a volcano but all the hurting was coming out... My jaw was tensed. I wanted to scream, cry, stop this unnatural procedure but this was a new efficient treatment that'd solve everything. I had to be strong. For Grand-Pa. This beep sound kept coming on and on... Flinty alarm clock, Dreams are the only way I can spend Time with Grand-Papa, do not take that away from me. It's all too late : I'm awake.
