On Christmas break back from university…
Blake sat in the silent, small feeling office. The feeling of hard paper underneath his butt. The oppressive feeling of his mother being below him and about 3 feet to his right, on a chair.
“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s very serious to have pain in one of your vital organs.”
The doctor entered the room and began typing things into the computer . “So how are you doing today Blake?”
“Not bad.”
“what seems to be the problem?”
“Well I have a pain in my right testicle.”
“Yes, he does. He says it started 3 days ago” his mom swiftly added.
The doctor, who was a young woman with a ponytail and a professional demeanor, typed in this information. She said in a simultaneously sweet and bored voice, “Ok well let’s get you checked out.”
“You can remain seated. I’m going to go ahead and do an ultrasound on your testicles.”
Blake wanted to be anywhere but here. He felt as if minute by minute, he was losing the will to live. The doctor then lifted up the gown to expose his member, which sat between his thighs like a pile of ripe fruit.
