As Solla was exiting Robbie’s room she almost ran into a small, pink child. “Oh, hello, are you lost?” she asked.
“No, I'm here to see Robbie” Stephanie replied, smiling.
“Stephanie, you can't run off. Good morning, Solla” Sportacus said walking up behind her.
“Good morning. You're in luck he just woke up.” Solla greeted them.
“Come on, Sportacus!” Stephanie said grabbing his arm and trying to tug him through the doorway. Solla chuckled as she walked off.

Once in the room Stephanie stopped. Sportacus felt a shift in her demeanor. He looked down at her then up to see Robbie poking at a pudding cup. “Good morning.” he said walking the rest of the way into the room. Robbie looked up from his pudding, “Morning.” he replied, his voice gruff …show more content…

Robbie laid dramatically against the back of the wheelchair, “Solla, it was nice knowing you. You were a fantastic nurse.”
Sportacus rolled his eyes as he walked around to begin pushing the wheelchair out of the room.

They had miraculously survived the car ride and Sportacus was now helping Robbie down the stairs into his lair. It was a slow affair with Robbie’s stiffness and pain. Once they had made it to the orange chair in the middle Sportacus went to get him a glass of water. “Okay,I will go drop off your prescription but first take this.” He said handing him some pills. Robbie took them, downing the whole glass then snuggling into his chair. Sportacus covered him with a blanket before leaving.
While Sportacus was waiting for the prescription to be filled, he walked around the pharmacy and picked up a few items they would need. He eyed the electrolyte and meal replacement drinks warily.

  • The Importance Of Trauma In Literature

    1643 Words  | 4 Pages

    From civil wars, to world wars, to ethnic wars, catastrophes have defined the period of human history from the 1800s to the present day. The trauma that unavoidably results from such tragedies is evident in the literature of contemporary authors, as they explore their feelings of nostalgia, sadness and loss. Emily Dickinson, Bertolt Brecht and Kazuo Ishiguro each address such emotions in their works, and provide their audience with different methods to cope with trauma. While Dickinson offers seclusion and self-reflection as methods to deal with personal tragedy, Brecht suggests that stoicism and the repression of emotion are the means by which one can endure trauma. Finally, Ishiguro addresses collective trauma, and cautions against such repression
