**********
The room is dim now. Doctor Curzon has instructed me to get some sleep, hoping
that I be up and around in a couple of days. But I can't sleep.
Two pieces of news, so different and yet interconnected. I'm going to live. And I have a son. A son who saved my life without even looking me in the eye, a son whom I never knew of until today. A thousand questions run through my mind. What is his name? How old is he? What does he look like? And why... why has he never so much as spoken to me?
Is he afraid? Because of all I've done, because of past wrongs I've inflicted. Or does he somehow feel that I'm inhuman?
I find myself pondering him, this boy that I've never seen. How could he have known I was dying? And... why did he save me? Because he loved me? Because, no matter what I've done in the past, no matter what, he loved me and didn't want me to die?
Perhaps he did this for another reason. Is he giving me a second chance at life, and at redemption? Defeating the Taelons? Or maybe... just maybe... he cares about me, even though I've never spoken a word to him, never looked him in the eyes, never tickled him to make him laugh or taken him for ice cream.
Perhaps I can make up for lost time.
I'll find him. I will find my son, wherever he is. I'll at least give him the chance to know me.
