Transubstantiation

By Stephen Woodworth

27 November 2000

Marcus squeezed the ball in his hand until his fingernails dug into its rubber

surface, as if to pump every drop of blood in his body into the little plastic bag

connected to his arm. A white-coated Red Cross matron with flat-topped granny

glasses hurried over to the cot where he lay.

"Whoa! That's enough!" She pulled the needle from his arm and placed a square

of gauze padding over the hole in his arm. "If you could hold that for me a

moment . . . ."

He placed his left hand over the gauze and lifted his right forearm.

"Ah, I knew you were a pro at this!" She sealed and labeled the bag, which now

bulged with burgundy fluid. "Sure filled that one fast." Nudging his fingers off the

gauze, she taped the pad to his arm. "Now, you go ahead and lie here for a few

minutes--"

Marcus sat up and swung his legs off the cot. "I'm okay."

"Are you sure?" She quickened her steps to keep up with him as he stalked

toward the exit. "You know, you shouldn't drive until the dizziness passes."

He smiled at her. "I'm fine, really."

"Well, here." She bustled over to a table and dug some items out of an ice chest

and a paper grocery bag. "At least take these along to fortify you." She handed

him a half-pint carton of orange juice and a little package of chocolate-chip

cookies.

The thought of drinking orange juice again nauseated him, but he accepted the

gifts graciously. "Thanks."

Once outside the clinic, he dropped the juice and cookies in the nearest trash

can, then ripped the tape and gauze off his arm and added them to the garbage.

There wasn't even a scab left on his skin.
