Grandfather

The old man sits in his chair whatching TV.
He coughs and his chest is hurting.
The feeling of not being able to breathe properly scares him.

The doorbell is ringing.
In comes a little girl, his grandchild,
smiling like she does every time she sees him.
They talk for a while, and he brings her a glass of milk and some bread,
before she rushes out to play.

He sees her through the window so alive and full of joy.
Tomorrow he will hear the sound of the doorbell again.
"I must remember to buy some more of her favourite meat and icecream," he says to himself.
As he sits down in front of the TV again he can feel the same pain and his face is sad.
