A man was laid on the ground, coughing with his hand on his chest, his head twitched to the right from time to time, he was in extreme pain, especially on his chest, he didn't know what medicine they gave him, but it surely wasn't for his illness, he pulls his other hand to his forehead, letting it fall at his head's side

"I'm burning up..." He coughs, he accepted death already, he did long ago, no one would come to save him from that hell, his only distraction was tracking his way to it

"Give me your hand, Chris" A familiar voice whispers, his hand appearing at his side, making the man sigh as a smile forms on his face

"Was it hard to find me?" A nurse stops at the door, tilting her head at the man, they gave him medicine against his illnesses, why was he talking to himself?

"I struggled a little" Chris chuckles, his matured child soul acting as their age, the one he was supposed to die "Now come on, enough pain for you"

"I love you, big brother" The man whispers, raising his hand on his direction, who fallen as his growned body dies, his soul holding his older brother's hand, being pulled to his lap and cuddled close

"Oh god! A patient died here!" The nurse runs inside, checking his body, that confirmed her witnesses

"You've been through to much pain" Michael kisses his head, watching all the people moving with his body, who, just before the other people came in, pulls vomit to his throat, not having strength to expel out if him

"But now I'm with you" Chris wrapped his arms around his neck

"We still need to get someone, before we can rest" the teenager nuzzles his head

Time of death - 12:00 am

"Alright Afton, time for your execution" A guard pulls the man from his cell "any last wish?" William looks at the guard, he knew exactly what would be his last wish

"I want to say goodbye to my boy" He says, feeling tears form on his eyes, he wasn't ready for the news

"I'm sorry, Mr.Afton..." the guard says, putting his hand on the man's shoulder, confusing the father "your boy died some hours ago at a mental institution, they reported he suffocate because of an overdose"

"What...?" William felt all his fear of death vanish, his last family member, his youngest boy, was gone and now it was his time to go "Oh, my poor boy..." He knew suffocating was a slow and painful death, after all he killed one of his victims like that

"Any other wish?" The man denies, accepting his destiny, it was the only way he could see him family again

"Let's get going, then" As the two start walking to the electric chair, a teenager and a little boy were waiting there, holding hands and glancing at each other from time to time

"When papa's coming?" Chris asks his brother, wanting to hug tight his father, the last time he saw him, both were being taken away from each other, him to a mental institution and the man to a prison

"There they are" Michael looks at the door, followed by his brother

William was brought to the chair, once strapped down and connect to the machine, he lets all his tears fall, planning everything he would do once reconnected with his family

"Any last words?" A guard asks, looking at the man, who smiles, knowing exactly what he wanted to say

"Daddy's coming, boys"
