[00:18.39]Hospital
[00:22.96]医院
[00:38.51]The next day, we went to the hospital,
[00:41.88]and to our horror, found that he had lung cancer.
[00:47.05]He was terminally ill, and nothing could be done about it.
[00:52.82]That night I lay awake for a long time,
[00:57.01]then I smelled the smoke;
[00:58.98]this time I felt a strange pain in my chest,
[01:03.31]I panicked, because my Granddad had lung cancer,
[01:07.93]and it seemed that I could feel HIS pain in MY chest!
[01:12.35]The smoke was choking me,
[01:14.25]I was curled up in pain on the bed,
[01:16.79]and I didn't know what was happening.
[01:19.20]Then, slowly, the pain subsided,
[01:23.65]and the stench of smoke left me,
[01:26.22]and I lay shaking with fear,
[01:28.14]wondering if it had been real,
[01:30.77]whether my grandfather was trying to tell me something,
[01:34.45]I didn't know what to do.
[01:36.00]After that, I couldn't sleep;
[01:39.32]so I dug my MP3 player out of my things,
[01:43.23]and settled down to relax.
[01:45.43]When I hit the play button, my blood ran cold,
[01:49.59]the song that I'd selected, without thinking,
[01:53.00]was Hospitality 1, by Funeral For A Friend.
[01:57.77]The song was about someone who is on life support,
[02:01.15]and wants his family to let him die.
[02:04.72]I quickly selected a different album.
[02:07.00]Eventually I must have drifted off to sleep,
[02:11.29]because I remember being woken by my mum.
[02:14.47]"Mum? What do you want?"
[02:16.78]"Um, sorry love, but granddad's died.
[02:21.37]Your dad just phoned from the hospital."
[02:24.48]Then I shocked myself. I answered,
[02:28.47]"Oh, ok." sounding as cool as ice.
