Foggy

His appetency was back.  So was his energy.





If you should look through the files of old magazines for the first years of the present century you would find, sandwiched in between the stories of  long dead work of one, or two, and perhaps three or four dozen short stories.

You could, if you were interested, follow them along until, say, they suddenly disappeared.

No ambition.

Foggy.

One night ready to bear in mind the prayer he perpetually said before bed.
urinating was surprisingly uncomfortable.

After finishing her test, the  assistant sent him to the science laboratory.

This was most likely a urinary-tract infection, she told him when reviewing his results.

The first spell came dozing on the terrace.  aroused from sleep, hot and wet, he felt unsteady--braced himself on the wall.

He made a chair. passed out a handful of times, simply sitting there.
And he was confused.

He was making an attempt to scan a text from a girl days later.

 he woke, then suddenly found himself on the ground, pain in his forehead.

he’d clipped the side table on his approach to the lavatory.
He found that he’d been leaky.
He was embarrassed, ahead of his woman of fifty, referred to as his future, and organized to come back the following day.

He hadn’t been feeling the young medical practitioner up, drenched many times recently, and hot and bothered.

 the bed together with his shivering  felt feverish.
Tired.
No appetency.
The man who was of good intelligence, talented, glib, probably young, found nothing to stir more than a faint interest in the whims of life--no deep interior laughs; no sense of futility or hint of tragedy.


  He’d gotten fluid and an honest night’s sleep.

No fever; no shaking chills.  Maybe the antibiotics were operating.  Still, his kidneys were no higher.

After rounds, Lee referred to as the patient’s doctor,  fully grown in the slightest degree--only abnormality was excretory product, contains loads of blood.  

Now what? Lee visited the attending with news.

The patient had babes.

Babes could be protozoan,  acellular parasitic organisms carried by the Ixodes dammini.

This arachnophobia picks up the vesper mouse and delivers it to ensuing craniate--it bites; the organisms enter the circulation; they invade red blood cells--ever they multiply
; under the magnifier the organisms seem like either a circle or a cross, betting on where they are--ascendant offspring burst out of the cell--enter neighboring cells, and the ixodid--the carrier of zoonotic disease.

He had both, and then 3 medications — 2 for the Babes and one for the  microorganism--time distinction
; the day when appetency was his energy.
