Why this must be read: While helping Qui-Gon recover from his
injuries, Obi-Wan anticipates his knighthood, but not without a final lesson
from the Force and Qui-Gon. I love Cori's work; it's always thoughtful
and balanced with true characterizations. I love the way this piece flows from angst
to realization to love without being wordy or over-done. Classic Q/O at it's best.
The monotonous rasp of the respirator continued, as it had for days. He
would go mad from it soon, he was certain, if he had not already. But the
prospect of the noise ceasing held far greater terror than mere insanity.
Each wheeze of the precious and horrible machine scraped along his nerves;
each pause between those wheezes stifled his own breath. Just when it seemed
the pause had been too long, when he thought his lungs would stay frozen
forever, the machine let out another asthmatic whoosh, and he inhaled with a
gasp.
Artificial as it was, the rhythm of the breathing machine encouraged his
mind to drift into a state of false peace. He dragged himself back with an
effort. As soon as the blank trance left him, the reality hit again, and the
terror returned. It roiled up through his gut and clogged his throat. He
pushed down on it ferociously and shoved it back down until he could breathe
again. He had long since given up on trying to release it into the Force.
The Force seemed far, far away from where he was now.
