Between Hope and Desolation

Mason came out of surgery, weak and dazed from the effects of the anesthesia, but hopeful that everything would go well. The operation had been a success, and his heart was now beating with a new strength. Although he was grateful for his second chance at life, a sense of desolation came over him as he woke up in the recovery room.
