"I just wanted to have some hot food."

"Is it your last wish. Well, you could have done better. Nevertheless, I am in no position to provide anything at all. Also, I wouldn't have minded some hot food for myself as well."

"So do you think this is it right?"

"Feels like it, just like in movies. See there is that light coming from the sky, tearing through clouds, just for us. Hey, Adam, you can see, right? Hey Adam?!"

Is Adam gone already? Is it just me now? All alone here, in this dark place, waiting patiently. For the embrace of death.

"Nick. I am here. Just dozed off a little. Nothing serious. It looks like I don't have any more oxygen left. I promised right. I will be the last to go. Making sure I have heard all your goodbyes."

"Yes, Nick. Yes. You said that. You did."

Hope to find some great works.
