Drabble Challenge #74

Prompt: paranoid/paranoia

“Doctor, I’m so afraid! What if I don’t wake up? What if I don’t remember who I am? What if –“

The doctor reassured him. “Don’t be so paranoid! When you wake up, you’ll feel like a new man.” And with that, the nurse slipped the needle into his arm and he fell fast asleep.

Fourteen hours of surgery later, the doctor came out and talked with the man’s wife.

“How is he?” she nervously asked.

The doctor smiled. “The operation went exactly as planned. The blank brain was a perfect fit, and he will soon be ready to start re-training.”
