“It seems loving you was the easy part.”
The machines beeped.

“But we didn’t have that much time, did we? We should’ve had more time together.”
The nurse held in a sneeze.

“Nothing about this feels right,” she said.

“So, there’s no hope?”
“There is no brain activity …” the doctor continued as the nurse caught her eye & she shook her head left to right.

“Right. So is it really a plug?”
“No, it’s a power switch.”

“Hmm,” she pointed: “This one?” 
“Yes.”

She turned it off. 
It took a minute for his heart to stop.

Hers already had.
