It had been a while since she had gone to the University to look up heart defeats. It had been even more time since she posted the video looking for her family. There had to be family. But Sterling had heard nothing from anyone. Not a peep from the web. Again she'd gotten lost in the cracks. Lost in the data of the world.
And even worse was she was dying in bed of a fever and chills. She couldn't move. Couldn't eat. Sleep was even hard. Not a thing in the world was working. Her mother kept her on anti-inflammatories. And she was drinking her weight in cold water. The fever persisted.
Sterling had a visit with her doctor. He said nothing was wrong with her heart. So they kept Sterling home from school. She watched movies and read books. Video games were too taxing. Sometimes even holding the book was too much. And not only was she alone in her room - she was under quarantine. Parent initiated quarantine - nothing like a WHO investigation or anything like had been in the news. Whatever had made Sterling sick wasn't related to her birth.
But there was nothing she could do but sleep the pain and fever away. Sleep was so hard when you were so drained, and hot and when it did come it was strange dreams filled with images she didn't understand.
