“I'm sorry Mr Green...but I we do not have the knowledge of knowing as to why your height lost. I mean its pretty common for a person to lose an inch or two every twenty years but this...” said Cyndie Jones as she was going through her records.
“What are you saying?” asked Neil Green as he looked at his doctor. Cyndie put the records down and answered, “What I'm saying is you have caught a very rare illness. Its so rare that there's hardly any word of it in the medical books”
“Well what is it? What have I caught?” asked Neil as he was getting scared. “Well Mr Green, you've caught a very rare illness which according to the only few people to ever got it is known as Shrinkage Disease” answered Cyndie.
“Shrinkage Disease...what does that do?” asked Neil. “Well...its does what it sounds...the illness you got is causing your body to slowly shrink away” answered Cyndie. “Tell me that you're joking” said Neil. “If you don't believe me, wait in a couple of days, then we see” said Cyndie.
“Fine, fine...what are my options?” asked Neil as he looked at the floor. “Well, since not many people have ever caught Shrinkage Disease so it best that you should remain within this hospital. You will be housed within the special ward till we can get any results” answered Cyndie.
“That sounds as if I got to stay here, is there isn't any other options?” asked Neil as he looked at her. “Would you rather be at home doing your normal things, slowly shrinking? The people will notice a shrinking man and trust me when I say this. You don't want that kind of limelight” answered Cyndie.
“Fine...when I am going to this ward?” asked Neil as he stood up. “We can send you to it right now if you wish, the sooner the better as we can find a cure faster that way” answered Cyndie as she stood up and walked next to Neil. Cyndie was a inch taller than Neil as she's 5'7 where Neil was once 5'10.
Cyndie led Neil down the hallway to entrance to building. “So just where is this ward anyway?” asked Neil as Cyndie walked up to his car. “Don't worry about the address, I send someone to pick you up within a hour to drop you off at the hospital” answered Cyndie.
“See you later then” said Neil as he drove off home packing a few of his things together. As he was packing, there was a knock on the door. Neil walked to the front door and opened it, there standing by the entrance as a 5'9 woman with long blond hair and light blue eyes smiling at him.
“Erm yes can I help you?” asked Neil as he was taken back by the tall beauty standing before him. “Hi Neil Green, I'm Melanie Dickson. I'm here to take you in” answered the woman. “Take me in? Oh you mean the ward right?” asked Neil. “Correct Mr Green. Please, if you're ready packed, shall we go” answered Melanie.
Neil zipped up his trunk filled with things he want and carried it to Melanie's car. With that, Neil took one last look at his house as he knew that when he was to return, the house will look different. The drive took about an hour long, Melanie parked her car in the car park, got out and waited to Neil to get out.
Once out, he looked out at the building that he would be spending in for a long while. He looked at the sign building and saw that it read, St. Mercy Hospital. With that the two of them headed inside the hospital.
