Episode 14

It had been a long hard day for Frank. He’d begun work early at 6 a.m. and had worked steadily all day for nearly 12 hours without stopping except for ten minutes to eat a sandwich. Long hours were not unusual in his kind of work, but tonight for some reason he felt more exhausted, than usual. He noticed, too, that his vision seemed more impaired. He hope that he wasn’t going to faint. Frank took a lot of pride in being strong and able to endure a lot of hard work. He suddenly realized that he would have to sit down. He was beginning to feel a little dizzy and heart seemed to be beating much faster than normal. He noticed, too, a cold sweat had broken out all over his body. He was glad to sit down on a nearly chair. He closed his eyes for a moment and some of the dizziness seemed to diminish. He tried to breathe deeply to get more sir into his lungs. Suddenly, he felt afraid, “Am I having a heart attack?” he wondered. “I am going to have to call somebody to help me, I am very weak”. He looked around and saw that Joe Brainard was still working in the next room. “Hey, Joe”, he called weakly. “I need help”. “I’ll be right there”, Joe answered.
