Episode 1 - Visiting Hours

Matthew sat on his hospital bed, bored out of his mind.
He still couldn't believe that a stroke would cause him to have to live in an iron lung. He stared up at the ceiling wondering when he'll finally just die. Then he remembered that he's still 22 and he has a long way before he's dead.
His brunette nurse, Ms.Wortan, walked into his room to give him lunch. Ms. Wortan said cheerfully, "Hey, Matty! It's lunch time!" Matthew snapped back, "I'm not a fucking child, Sandra!" She had learned to ignore Matthew's trash attitude. She usually had to force feed Matt, but this time, he agreed to be fed.
Ms. Wortan said with a smile, "Well someone's happy today! Is it because it's visiting day?" She ruffled Matthew's curly ginger locks.
He bit Ms. Wortan's finger.
Ms. Wortan moved her hand and continued feeding Matthew his lunch. After that, Ms. Wortan did some tests on Matthew and checked on how his iron lung was holding up. Ms. Wortan turned to Matthew,
"You know you're a very lucky boy. Not many people have iron lungs because they're so old and out-dated." Matthew rolled his eyes and continued to stare at the ceiling.
When she finished, she quietly left the room.
"It'll all be over soon, Matt. We'll get you new lungs one day."
Matthew started to tear up. He tried to conceal it, but the tears were overpowering him. He burst into tears, knowing that he won't be out of an iron lung for a long time.

It was 30 minutes before visiting time. Matthew saw all the doctors and nurses trying to calm down the patients.
Soon, it was finally visiting hour. Families and friends of patients burst through the doors. Matthew knew he had no one to visit him.
He wasn't exactly a "well-loved guy". But then, he heard the door click open.
It was a fellow patient.
They looked like a cancer patient but Matt couldn't tell.

"Uh-Uhm.. Is this Matthew Andrews' room?"
