THE PORTAL OF DREAMS

Darkness, silence, and unconsciousness inhabited Susana’s brain until she slowly opened her eyes.

I have also ordered that Eduardo and you be tested for covid-19. ” Said the doctor, but her words bounced off the void of silence existing in Susana’s brain that she continued to be stunned by the news. Eduardo was the first to react, “Doctor, I want to see my wife before I go home.”
