:47:06
The next night, Our Hero fellsick.
:47:12
My left shoulder hurt.
:47:20
The pain was moving
towards my heart.
:47:25
I felt that at this rate,
I'd die soon.
:47:29
Within hours.
:47:32
Anyway, before dawn.
:47:38
To die so suddenly
seemed unfair.
:47:43
I hadn't overindulged in life.
:47:46
Okay, the last few years
had been tough,
:47:51
but that was no reason
to pack it in.
:47:55
Far from it.
:47:57
In all fairness,
life owed me a break.
:48:02
It all seemed so badly arranged.
:48:07
What's more,
I hated Rouen and its people.
:48:13
I didn't want to die,
let alone in Rouen.
:48:16
The thought of dying here
:48:19
was odious.
:48:21
The local jerks
weren't worthy of it.
:48:24
Excuse me. I need a hospital.
:48:30
A hospital!
:48:39
Contrary to my fears,
:48:42
it wasn't a heart attack.
It was pericarditis.
:48:46
The first symptoms are identical,
:48:50
but while a heart attack can kill,
:48:53
pericarditis is very benign.
