The Scare 5

Then when you thought of the right way to end it all, it flashed through your mind that you had donated blood to the N.B.T.S while you were at the Orientation Camp. That was three months earlier than now, you said to me. The next date for your donation is this present month. How you wish you had money! You still had not been paid! Why is everything or everyone conniving to punish you? You queried me. The donation centre was not very close to you at all. But you had no option but to wait for money to come in. You said you would ask them about the result of your last donation. This will let you know if it is true or not, you had said. At least you had hope, you thought- A little ray of hope!

Then at last you were paid! You ran to the Centre. There you were told that your last donation had been used and that you were 'CLEAN'! You couldn't believe your ears! There and then your soaring B. P drastically dropped and you laughed. A hearty and throaty laugh. Your first in weeks! They didn't know and didn't understand and you didn't tell them why. You donated again, left and thanked God, your Creator that you were free. You prayed to Him to make remain so. But all the way home, you were happy and glad that it was nothing but a SCARE!!!
