Short story of a hopeful husband

Станислав

“I have it now, the words captured, the scenes so clear in my head. Doc Whelan doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I’m fine, right as rain, with a script to prove it. I see the protagonist, or is it the villain? Only I know for sure. Keep them guessing, right? But the fade in is cool. Listen to this. Margaret? Are you awake?”
