Within the fictional continuity of “Max Headroom,” “Missile Mike” was an ultraviolent children’s television program. The show seemed to consist of nothing but the eponymous soldier repeatedly firing his rifle followed by scenes of massive explosions.

“WHAT!?” you almost choked on the juice you were drinking, “Yeah, yeah, I’ll be right there, which hospital again? Okay, got it, the lane opposite Bedford Square, uh huh, be there in a jiff!” You said as you grabbed your motorcycle keys and slammed your apartment door shut behind you. Your best friend Robbie Kay had been in an accident this morning while coming to University which you both went to, ‘That’s why he wasn’t attending my calls or anything, or replying to my text messages’, you thought. You reached the hospital as soon as you possibly could, there you saw his family and girlfriend of 6 months, Irene all sitting in the waiting area, Mrs. Kay’s face was red due to crying. You went up to her and hugged her, “He’s been in coma for almost 4 hours’ now”, she said sobbing. You hugged her even tighter and said, “Robbie is a fighter Mrs. Kay, he’ll be alright”, you took her hand in yours and rubbed it as an act of reassurance, holding back your own tears. When you couldn’t hold it in anymore, you excused yourself to the bathroom. Once you reached there, you burst into tears, pouring all your emotions out. Robbie and you had known each other since you both were 10 years old, when his parents moved in your neighborhood in Colchester, Essex. Although he had annoyed you a little too much during your entire teen years, you guys became inseparable after Year 11 in school, after you both formed your own band in high school through a common love of music called ‘Rustic Rhythms’ and went on to represent your school at various inter-institutional competitions. Although you really hate to admit it, you had kinda started falling for Robbie towards the end of high school/beginning of college. And after two years of denying, you had finally come to admit that you had indeed fallen for him beyond words and the news of his accident today came as a direct punch to the chest, what if he never got out of the coma? You wouldn’t want to imagine a world without his beautiful smile. You all waited for another 3 hours, but Robbie was still unconscious in his room. Irene had left an hour ago, for some reason you didn’t even bother to listen, your focus was just on your best friend at the moment, constantly praying that he would wake up soon. An hour later, the doctor came in and informed that he had regained his consciousness. Everyone stood up and ran to the room, apart from you, a smile came upon your lips as your eyes watered with tears of joy, wiping them off, you slowly made your way to him.
