I love the back and forth of the dialogue from what I assume are the patient and doctor/nurse. The part that interests me the most is "With the bite of the teeth of that ring on my finger, I'm bound to your bedside, your eulogy singer. I'd happily take all those bullets inside you and put them inside of myself." It seems like this is from the perspective of a loved one of the patient who may in fact be their care-taker in the hospital as well. Foreshadowing not only the fact that that they will be there by their side in the hospital as long as it takes for them to pass on, but also that they will be the one to recount the life of the soon-to-be-deceased is quite a disturbing thought. You can really envision their thought process and the site of this inner-dialogue. |
