File:Male Sleeper Story - Dying at Hospice.mp3

"Recall. He is 59. Mother is dying! Slow. At hospice, she begs him to kill her. Begs! But CHORUS runs the place. Watching. They wheel in a boy on a gurney. A stranger! Orderlies sedate them both, side by side. Why?! In their sleep, they speak in time! She is lucid. More than before the tumor! And yet. Won't answer to her name. When she dies, the boy utters her last words. AND WE KNOW THEM STILL."
