Alice was pulled from her thoughts when a young man with an early morning’s growth of beard walked into the room. The man wore a pair of jeans and a striped turquoise and white cotton T-shirt that made him look like he had been dressed by the same people who chose Bert and Ernie’s attire on Sesame Street. He carried a guitar on his back and he actually bounced into the room more than walked in.
“Hey, how ya doin’?” he said in that kind of ‘I’ve been smoking pot all morning,’ way.
Alice looked at him and wondered why he was there. She knew that Tina didn’t know him. “Hello?”
“Hi,” he drawled while turning his guitar around his body to the front. “My name’s Angus and I’m Ms. Kennard’s music therapist.”
“Music therapist? Umm, she can’t talk or move. You’re not going to get her to sing.”
“No, no. I come in for a few minutes and just strum the guitar, create some simple tones with my voice. Here, watch me. Don’t say anything, though. Watch to see if you see any reaction.”
“Okay.”
Alice turned to look at Tina and for a fleeting moment thought that if the parenting story didn’t fly, she could sell at least one article on treating comatose patients.
Angus looked at Tina for several seconds before he started. He watched how her chest rose and fell with her natural breathing and then mimicked that with his guitar trying to blend and create a harmony between the two. After a few minutes of strumming the same chords, he added his voice. Softly, Alice heard him sing, “Dooooo-dooo-dooooo-dooo.” Angus repeated this pattern for ten minutes and the one time he saw a change in Tina’s breathing, he changed his pattern to accompany her. Suddenly, he stopped, pushed his guitar behind his back and said to Alice, “Did you notice anything?”
“No.”
“I think her breathing changed a bit once or twice. I think she sensed it.”
“I couldn’t tell. Maybe.”
“Well, hey, it was nice meeting you. I need to make my rounds. Maybe I’ll see you around again.”
Angus quietly slipped away, heading to the next room with a comatose patient.

I’m finally caught up darlin’ and as always P, you ROCK! I knew this would be good, simply ’cause it’s coming from you. I do love the way you dig deep and uncover the mess – unafraid to take on the task of doing the dirty work, which we all know TPTB can’t seem to do. I much prefer your version then the junk that hit the airwaves, which btw did nothing more then churn up my stomach acid – LOL! Thank you for keeping the characters true.Looking forward to more – especially Carmen and Shane *whistling innocently*
