Scenes I ought to have drawn #1

A man is lying semi-conscious in a hospital bed. He is hooked up to a big machine that has many flashing lights and many brightly coloured levers and buttons.

A large woman in a floral nighty is leaning over him.

Her neck is in a brace.

A document marked "Will" is poking out from her handbag.

With one hand she is firmly gripping the thickest wire connecting the man to the machine. With the other she is cupping her mouth.

She is shouting: "Three nods for 'YES', four nods for 'NO'".

A second man, in pyjamas and wearing a grey fedora marked "Witness", is standing in the corner.
