Jake Understands Now (Microfiction)

Jake sees the Bone Marrow Specialist near his oncologist’s office for a consultation. The staff is helpful. The specialist is knowledgeable with a lovely bedside manner.

His success rate is 94%. Many of his patients live an additional ten to twenty years. His demographic is geriatric, but Miranda pleaded with him to see Jake. He agreed. He said Miranda’s plea moved him.

Now that they have her bone marrow, they can perform the transplant. Jake sits with every detail, says a silent prayer for his deceased sister, and cries softly.

Her death gives him life.

This concludes the Running With the Clouds series. Thank you for reading.

Dominique’s Miracle (Microfiction)

Dominique is a twenty-eight-year-old teacher from Little Rock who has been waiting for a kidney for sixteen months.

Sixteen months . . .

Every day is a struggle for her. How much energy would she use explaining trigonometry to seventeen year olds? Who would be the first to see sweat pour from her fingertips at 1:15 PM?

Dialysis on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday . . . try not to die Saturday and Sunday. And then, Miranda happened.

She’s a match. The perfect match.

Soon, there’ll be no more waiting.

Miranda’s Suicide Letter (Microfiction)

Here is my end-of-life note. Please give it to my brother, Jake, once it’s been manhandled & pondered over by authorities.

I, Miranda Charlley Powers, offer the organs in my body to anyone in dire need & waiting for a transplant. My heart, lungs, kidneys, & liver, please distribute accordingly.

But my bone marrow . . . this is for Jake. There’s a Bone Marrow Specialist who believes his method of application can save my brother. See to it that he’s contacted immediately.

More than anything, I want Jake to live.

Jake’s Pain (Microfiction)

He answered the call at 12:47 AM in a panic. “Next of Kin” meant waking up at all hours of the night when your big sister has done something unthinkable.

“Can you come in to identify the body?”

Can I do what?! She did what?! How was her mental health?! If she jumped from the 14th floor of her building, what is left for me to identify?!

Thunder roared, and the midnight rain poured like it would be the last.

Maybe she wanted to die first . . .

Maybe that’s why she did it.

Miranda’s Reasons (Microfiction)

Her days were never about her. She worked twelve-hour shifts for a measly $6.25 per hour plus tips.

In Pensacola, Florida, the stress from her job is as hot as the weather. She hated her boss. She hated where she lived. And her boyfriend, Rick, finally confessed to cheating on her.

To make matters worse, her baby brother, Jake, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma two weeks ago.

Killing herself seemed appropriate . . . it seemed right. She’ll die so others can live.
