I took a step into the poorly lit room, the silence bore into my skull, irritating me and filling me with fear, as I looked around, I saw masses of empty metallic tables in every direction, except for one...in the very end of the room, underneath a low hanging light, on a huge metsl table, drapped in a freash white cloth...
layed the lifeless body of Tom...
He was completely still, he looked so peaceful, his eyes were shut, his long curling eyelashes, flicked up and his lips...blue.
I stared at him for a moment, hoping that maybe this was all just a dream, and that maybe when I wake up Tom will be there by my side, laughing and teasing like he always is. But I know that's not true. I know that he's gone. My body started to walk towards the table where Tom laid. With each step closer the more dread welled inside me. My hands reached out and touched his cheek...he was cold. Colder than i imagined, i thought back of his warmth, the way he'd cuddle me and made me feel safe and warm, i yearned to feel that warmth again, but I knew that could never happen, I knew that this cold brittle sensation is the closest I'll ever come to feeling his warmth again.
I stood there silent and still, I listened to my breathing as my head replayed the scene of his death over and over again in an endless loop! I felt tears fill my eyes as guilt and regret took Over me. my body acted on its own and held on to Tom's cold lifeless body, he moved like a rag doll in my grips as I shook him, in an attempt to wake him up, I shouted and screamed his name, in hope that he'd answer me.
But nothing happened.
No reply.
Nothing.
Exhausted I collapsed on my knees, shaking and sobbing uncontrollably.
What's left for me?
