Just took a 23 unit bolus . Since going low carb 5 years ago , thanksgiving is always the largest dose I take . And I have no problem with that . Happy Carbsplosion Day everybody ! !!!<| sep |> Why ? They aren ' t for profit . All that revenue gets reinvested into the city . <| sep |> Sorry , traded it before i read this . My apologies <| sep |> I cocked my head , curious at the small figure before me . His dark eyes defiantly gazed into my own , a look I ' ve only seen in prophets and generals . My dear boy , my voice rasped , Why would you think that I was here to scare you ? He shifted on his feet , looking towards the door . A little crack of light emanating from the hallway was all that illuminated the rather sparse room . The entire place smelled of medicine . My . my auntie . She told me to ignore you , to just go to sleep when I saw you . But how could I ? Yes , how could you ? Especially when I look like this . I gave a little flourish with a single bony finger . I ' m not scared . The child ' s face was stony , his eyes set , Not anymore . Why , my child ? Why aren ' t you scared ? He sighed , and sat on the small cot in the center of his room . A year ago , we went . To the doctor . I had an ache in my leg . He stared at the ground , his eyes shining , And then . and then . I sat down beside him , a cold hand petting a bald head . And then we went back . For a checkup . The doctor frowned , and said something was wrong . That . that was a month ago . Tears streamed down his eyes , his body convulsing in sobs . They said I was cured . I sighed . No one is cured . Not really . He sobbed for a moment , and then seemingly calmed himself . Why hasn ' t auntie come in ? Can ' t she hear us ? I shook my head . We are alone child . Minuets , or perhaps hours , passed in silence . The shadows lengthen , and the light from the hallways fades away , leaving us in near total darkness . Reluctantly , I turned to the boy . It ' s time , my child . At my words , a draft disturbed the peace of the room . He looked to me , defiance replaced with resolution . Will it hurt ? I don ' t know . Will I see my parents ? I don ' t know . What do you know ? I am a guide , and a messenger . Beyond that , I know nothing . The draft becomes a wind , and beyond the door an unearthly light shines through . I stand , offering my hand . Are you ready ? He looked back towards his bed , over flowers and get well soon cards . Yes . He took my hand .
