Silver's POV
"As you know this is an overnight chemo session. But I would like to inform you that your son is making remarkable progress in getting rid of his cancer. I don't know if it's the fact that we saw it in time or maybe it's because his body is fighting it exceptionally for such a young boy. Or it could be a mixture of the two. But I can say Aiddan is by far my favorite case. I think by the time six months pass by he will be free of cancer." The doctor said as he looked through a bunch of papers that he had on a table next to the hospital bed. "Any questions?"
"Yeah. Is he going to be on chemo all night?" I asked as I smiled down at Aiddan's form as he and Ashton played with cars.
"No. We want to keep him overnight just in case. Since this is only his second treatment and he's so you don't we just need to make sure that he doesn't experience any bad reactions to the chemo." he explained as he waved a nurse in.
"Okay. Thank you." I replied as I picked up my son.
Putting Aiddan I put him on the bed. Kneeling down so I could be eye level I said, "The nice doctor and nurse are going to start your treatment now. Is that okay with you?"
"Yeah." he whispered shyly as he grabbed my hand. "Daddy?"
"Yes, little man?" Ethan inquired as he stepped behind me silently.
"I want your hand too." he stated with puppy dog eyes.
Ethan went to the other side of the bed and grabbed ahold of his hand. It was so adorable. My heart hurt a little as I thought about how much I had made Ethan miss out in Aiddan's life. But hopefully I can make up for that in the future. Grabbing my phone I sneak a quick picture of them.

After that the nurse started to numb Aiddan's arm I had to look away. I knew what was to happen next. She would inject him with the anticancer drug and then it would be over. But I just couldn't stand watching that needle pierce my son's skin. Maybe it was the protective side of me but it was probably the needle phobia side. I couldn't stand needles. It's not the pain that bothers me. It's the fact that something is going through all layers of skin just to inject something inside your body.
"Okay. All done." the nurse stated as she threw away the syringe and needle in the biohazard box. "You are one brave boy, Aiddan."
"Thank you miss." he smiled cheekily up at the lady.
As the nurse left I heard her chuckle under her breath. That's my son. A little ladies man.
"Mommy? Can we watch a movie?" Aiddan asked, tugging on my hand.
"Yeah. Let me get my laptop and the movies." I say as I grab the book bag I had set up for today. Getting out the laptop I also hold up a few movies. I ask, "What movie do you want?"
"Hmm." he frowned in concentration before nodding in satisfaction at his decision. "Lion King. "
"Good choice." I grin over at him as I put it in. Laying on the bed with him I start the movie.
I didn't realize how much time had passed until Ashton shook my shoulder to get my attention. "Hey, sorella (sister). I'm going to head home. I have work in the morning."
"Mkay. Bye Ash." I smile as I look down to see a sleeping Aiddan. And next to him was Ethan. Who was also sleeping. Uncomfortably though.
"Ethan." I say trying to wake him up.
"Hmm?" he mumbled slowly, raising his head up.
"You can get in the bed to silly." I laugh quietly as I move Aiddan closer so he has some room.
"Okay." he says, laying next to us while he brings his arms around us. "Goodnight. "
"Goodnight. " I whisper before falling into an Abyss of sleep.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
