I Have No Health Novels & Stories

(December) I stare at the Excel spreadsheet on my laptop, running a frustrated hand through my hair. The numbers glaring back at me aren’t good—not even close. My budget is shrinking at an alarming rate, especially with Christmas just around the corner. The second I got laid off, I canceled every subscription I could spare. Losing Men’s Health and Next Door Studios sucked, but I can find fitness content online—and besides, I have my own personal nympho sharing my bed every night. Who needs to watch p**n when Kent’s willing and eager to let me do anything I want to him? He’s a goddamn freak and I love it.

We both sat on the chairs in the lawn, enjoying the chirping of the birds 'achi thi. But as it was a business trip, had to do a lot of work.' He took a sip of coffee and replied. (It was good) With a sigh Haris broke the comfortable silence 'Noor, Jo bhi kuch horaha hai tumhari life Mai, please don't let it affect your health.' (Whatever is happening in your life) ' I heard you got unconscious two days back, and doctor said that it was because of stress. Noor, I just want to tell you that be strong and take care of your health. Please.'

“Nothing’s wrong.” “You’re lying.” My voice wavered despite myself. “You’re uncomfortable. I can see it.” She opened her mouth, then closed it. “Are you feeling well? Did the physical last week go okay?” I asked slowly. “Is there something I should know?” Immediately she shook her head and gave me a barely-there smile. “Yes, I’m 100% healthy, don’t need to worry about that. Well, except for diabetes.” I sighed, “Thank God. Sometimes, you get this far away look in your eyes that really worries me.”

“Alarm bells ringing, and skin crawling is accurate.” “Aislen?” Heath came to a stop at the end of the alleyway and looked both ways before crossing a car park that was clear of soldiers and cars. “What do you know?” “Well, two things, really,” she said, keeping her voice low. “The first is that there is no medicine for this. They’re bull shitting about that. The second thing is that they’re not NES. Or they are, but they’re also not.” “Aislen,” Heath drew in a deep breath and released it, controlling his frustration, and stopping himself from snapping at her. “Can you be a little clearer.”

"I'm not the kind of child you will want to have. I'll be a great disturbance, a liability in short." "Why do you think that?" "I'm not healthy." I said. "I have severe asthma"

Minus asked. “Nothin’. Not a goddamned thing I can do about it. It’s aggressive and it’s having a fucking party all over my insides. Besides, it’s not like the club has a health plan to pay for treatment. Hell, before we started getting’ patched up by Doc Eldie, I hadn’t seen a doctor since I was a kid. Probably why I’m in the state I am now. She was the one that spotted somethin’ was wrong with me in the first place, but by then it was too late.” “Then why the fuck are you telling us?” I asked.

“This isn’t good. This isn’t proper.” “I know,” I snapped. The word came out sharper than I meant. “I know all of that.” I dragged my hands down my face, pacing away from him. “But what else is there?” I turned back to him, my eyes burning. “There’s nothing we can do.” Ben opened his mouth, but I cut him off. “There’s no healer,” I said. “No physician. No miracle person waiting to walk through that door.” My voice shook, but I kept going. “Nobody can save him like this.”

I tried to walk steadily leaning on the maid for support but my whole body was deteriorating. I have always been prone to sickness, the last illness almost took my life and since then I have been very cautious of my health. The old physician and I have an agreement whenever he’s around, to always have him around in case of emergencies like this, but today of all days he isn’t anywhere to be found.

“ But you didn't show that you didn't want him here. You didn't push him off or anything.” I was done. I had been trying so hard not to let this thought in me spiral out, but I couldn't help it. “ That is because I couldn't donate blood, my blood is low, and I have to tend to my health even better now. I have been neglecting it for a while now”

“We can’t go to the capital. They’re going to charge a whole lot, I might have some coins but I don’t think it will be enough. Since we would be needing doctor fees, medicine, and a place to stay.” Frowning, I tap my foot on the ground. “Then where would we go? I don’t know any place aside from the three. It’s not like I know the outside place. Where could we go that has everything we need? I’m assuming it’s expensive almost everywhere since there really isn’t a place that has free healthcare for ordinary citizens. I’m insured but I don’t think that’s transferrable to someone I’m not blood related to.” He chuckles, his face in deep thought.
