Thy Kingdom Come
Feb. 2nd, 2008 06:28 pmHe should have known better than to forget his own advice.
But Guppy is tired, the days of double shifting and worrying and trying to keep an eye on Anita wearing him down. So it's all too easy to go into his room and crash.
Hospital. Nothing unusual there. Guppy wanders along the corridor... empty corridor. And at the end of it he can see a figure... a familiar jacket and hair, but facing away... In a hospital bathroom, pouring a bath.
He quickens his pace. Almost running towards the figure. Not really looking at the scenery. Just behind the man, he stops.
"...Father?"
The figure turns the tap off, then turns around.
There is a loud scream, which is suddenly cut off.
About a minute later Guppy is lying in the middle of the bedroom floor, as though dumped. The back of his neck looks bruised, and there are small cuts there. His hair is drenched. His left arm is at an odd angle, probably dislocated at the shoulder.
He isn't breathing.
Or at least, not immediately. Then, as the dream finishes, semi-conscious survival instincts kick in and he begins to desperately cough and choke.
[ooc: Locked to Atton at this point, he will be down later for anyone wanting to interrogate/worry at him.]
