Life or Death

"So, since you agreed to this all you have to do is swab your upper and lower front gums with this stick." As the swabbing occurs the mind is racing, trying to figure out why it agrees to this every time the offer is proposed. "Now you sit and wait for the results, it only takes about twenty minutes, so don't worry, you will know before your visit is over." The mind does some more wandering, it skips to this place with a dead end terrified that this could be it. Then it roams to a hopeful place guaranteeing that all interactions have been with trustworthy individuals whom would never deceive in such a detrimental way. Believing the person admitting this horror is psychic or has an extreme leg up on reverse psychology its questioning why the "don't worry" ... should there be worry involved? This is and will always be twenty of the worst minutes in life.
It is a fact that most people will avoid these twenty minutes, they turn down the offer, too afraid to even venture into that realm. But why? The denial factor definitely has to be present, people must believe that they are exempt from this happening to them. In reality it is an epidemic, occurring in all societies, those who find out and deal with it and then those who run from it but internally know. They probably see it as a torture method, someone giving them twenty minutes to regret all the horrible and reckless things they have done in the past then letting them know whether or not they will be penalized for them. It makes you wonder what sick mind created this monster, maybe an extreme Halloween lover, as a trick or treat method of curing the human promiscuous nature: Give them something with no cure, teach them a lesson. These are only the thoughts in the first ten minutes love, there are still ten more minutes to go.
Everyone knows someone who has fallen victim to these twenty minutes. That is the person that comes to mind now, the thoughts of how they are living and coping with the news. Thinking what it was like when their twenty minutes was over finally finding out they are being punished without an answer as to why. Then the time proposes that "what if" wall, what if that trustworthy person wasn't so trustworthy after all, what if they never took up the offer when proposed these twenty minutes. However, in the last two its all reassurance because deep down there is hope that the good will outweigh the bad and promises to god will do the trick once again.
So, now your looking at the issuer as if there is something owed, and finally the answer: "I just wanted to let you know you were negative." A sigh of relief and special appreciation to the people making it possible because thanks to them it will always be life or death.
