A Perfect Life

She started for a moment and looked up at me, and then over to Amber, "Has he had his physical yet?"

"Yes Ms. Kylynn. He was a good boy and did everything the doctor requested," she smiled that queer smile that the doctor had on her face when I left her.

"You know, it just dawned on me, out of all the people I have seen working here, I seem to be the only man," I mused, "Am I the only male in the whole company?"

"Yes, for now, you are Vern," Amber answered carefully.

"Ah, I see. I am the token affirmative action male then..." I joked, "Just kidding, I am quite anxious to start work and make a contribution to the firm."

Just then, a wave of dizziness washed over me and I grabbed a desktop to steady myself.
"Is something wrong Vern?" Kylynn asked sounding concerned, while she rushed over grabbing my arm to steady me.

"Just a brief dizzy spell I guess. I feel fine now," I smiled weakly back at her.

"Still I want you to go back to the infirmary with Amber and let the doctor have a look at you," Kylynn insisted, "and I don't want any macho back talk either! Take care of him, please Amber?"

"Yes Ms. Kylynn, right away. Come along Vern, we will have you feeling like a new person in no time," she told me, taking my hand, and nearly dragging me back to the infirmary.

Just as we passed through the door, I became dizzy again and had to support myself on the countertop at the reception desk.

"Mr. Solman is having dizzy spells. Please get Theresa for us. Quickly," Amber seemed to be taking my slight dizziness almost too seriously. "Vern, I am taking you back inside the infirmary so you can lay down on one of the hospital beds until you feel better."

I made it to the bed and stretched out, feeling better now that I was lying down.

Theresa and the nurse joined us in the room and she said, "Get his shoes and clothes off. I am going to start an IV."
