Rotting away in the dark
festering, seething
Growing at great pace

Out! Into the light
Surgeon suctions

Patient awakens
asks the question

Did you get it?
The monster?

Is it gone now?

Relief

Above image is not MY kidney – image found in a google search.

the trifecta editors gave a 33 word weekend challenge – tell of a beast in an unusual place. The above is a true story – 7 years ago I underwent surgery for kidney cancer – a partial right nephrectomy. That means the surgeon only took part of my right kidney. I have had MRIs every year since. My last one was two weeks ago. I’m told all is well and I will not have to have another for two years. That is a blessing – begone, beastly monster!
