Terminal
Author(s):
Corinne Jacker
Comfortably ensconced in his private room awaiting minor surgery, Steven is unexpectedly visited by Oswald, a terminal patient who appears to have the run of the hospital. Skittish about medical matters, Steven grows increasingly restive as Oswald catalogues his gruesome ailments and operations--all of which somehow seems to engender in Steven a sense of guilt as well: about his sureness of full recovery versus Oswald's sad fate; and also about his being well off, while Oswald has become a charity patient. As Oswald piles horror on horror Steven presses on him his cashmere robes, his expensive fountain pen, chocolates, scotch and, finally his bed- anything to shut him up and persuade him that someone does care about him (but if only he would go away).
