A loud mechanical beeping was heard as the screen firstly was all black with only the heartbeat line crossing over and over until that line faded away and the black screen slowly but surely moved to the left side, vanishing.

Now depicted on the camera lens was Andrew, lying down on a nearby hospital bed. His head was bandaged, jaw held by a small molding support. His left arm was wrapped in a blue cast, a dead stare in his eyes as he watched images flicker across the T.V. screen.

Remote in his right hand, the only one he could make a proper grip with, he idly flipped through channels until he spotted a BBW broadcast. Suddenly, his eyes flared open, hand tossing the remote away in disgust as the television blinked off when the remote hit the floor.

''Everyone's proceeding and trampling over now that I'm gone, I became a no one once again. A nobody that got his a** handed to him...A one hit has-been...I don't belong anymore, someone who once had everything, now has nothing...''

People were passing through the door as Andrew first attempted to raise up from the bed, his legs were not even usable but his two feet were on the ground as he was sat down on the edge of the bed, still connected to the IV. His once-burned back covered by a huge bandage exposed to the camera. A doctor slowly came to Andrew's room, knocking first and entering slowly as Andrew had his right hand covering his disappointed face.

That sad face of someone whose's spirit was broken, the doctor knew how Andrew felt because Andrew always spoke of wanting to get out and to fight again in the ring, every night, every day.

''Andrew, my scans tell me that you are recovering quite well. You should be out here in a couple of weeks, by March, you'll be a new man once again and you can go back to work.''

Andrew glanced up to the doctor for a bit, taking off the right hand that once covered his eyes as his back was still turned to the camera for the whole while. Andrew's hair had become longer and apparently Andrew had grown a small beard with the time of hospitalization, the hospital was not doing any favors to Andrew, only cramping his muscles down and turning them unusable.

''Thank you, Doctor. Can you leave me alone for a bit?''

The doctor nodded in an understanding way as he backed away, turned away and left Andrew's room slowly, Andrew literally roared out in his thoughts.


''You think that I'll wait until March?! You gotta be out of your mind! I'm not going to be the kid in the dark corner and await for time to drift off, I'm getting out of here now.''

Andrew tried to raise up but the atrophy of not using his muscles had set in, Andrew started throwing things around like an caged animal. The IV was ripped off his chest by the right hand, Andrew was simply angry and out of control.

He smashed the heartbeat monitor as he tried to raise up once again to no avail as he held himself on the wall with the right arm, the camera filming the whole scene, not being a tantrum but anger setting in.

The orderlies rushed in his room to stop that anger, one of them had a huge sedative syringe for obvious reasons, to pacify Andrew.

They all tried to hold him down but Andrew managed to throw a lot of things and a food tray with an apple was thrown to the orderlies, trying to kick the doctors and punching them. That clearly depicted, an apple a day, keeping the doctors away. But in the end, one of the orderlies injected Andrew with the sedative, Andrew's conscious words were:

''I want to go back to the ring...''


As those words were said, Andrew was now in the wonderland of dreams after that huge dose of sedative was injected in Andrew's neck. The orderlies placed Andrew down on the bed once again, his body numb now but he still whispered weakly with his face turned to the camera, eyes closed and a frown crossing his face.

''I want to go back...I don't belong here....I belong in the ring...''

The orderlies breathed of relief as they left the room after cleaning it up, the camera slowly faded away and the image slowly turned black as something appeared on the image on bloody red letters.

''Vengeance will be Mine, I promise.''
