[00:18.34]Hospital
[00:22.99]医院
[00:33.33]When mum had told my Nan,
[00:35.87]and they'd had a good cry together,
[00:38.60]we got in the car and went up to the hospital.
[00:42.55]Surprisingly, I didn't feel sad or upset, just strangely numb 1.
[00:47.97]When we got there, I didn't want to see the body,
[00:51.47]so I sat in the relatives' room.
[00:54.39]I tried to make sense of what had happened the previous night,
[00:58.23]rather than think about my granddad.
[01:01.03]But my thoughts kept returning to him, for some reason.
[01:05.75]Had it been him last night? Trying to tell me something?
[01:10.36]Once back at my Nan's, everyone was silent,
[01:15.07]no one wanted to do anything.
[01:17.58]Dad read a book quietly, Nan sat and sobbed 2 to her,
[01:22.76]mum went to fetch some chips from the chippy,
[01:26.21]and I listened to my music.
[01:29.45]Later, after dinner, I was in the kitchen, washing up.
[01:34.50]I had just put the last plate away,
[01:37.27]and was walking from the room
[01:38.97]when the fridge began to rattle 3.
[01:41.64]I know appliances sometimes rattle
[01:44.23]and make a little noise as they work,
[01:47.19]but this wasn't a gentle rattle,
[01:50.22]it sounded like all the stuff
[01:51.89]was getting thrown around inside it.
[01:54.65]I stood, paralyzed 4, as the phenomenon subsided,
[01:59.78]then slowly left the room,
[02:02.23]never turning my back on that fridge.
[02:05.59]We stayed a couple more days,
[02:07.25]nothing else weird 5 happened, and I began to relax a little.
[02:12.97]We got home, and were glad to be there.
[02:16.41]My parents were still a bit upset about my grandfather,
[02:20.40]but they were doing ok.
[02:23.17]It was late, so we all went upstairs and went to bed,
[02:28.57]without anyone saying anything to the others.
