It seemed hopeless.
As the static electricity filtered down to the floor where it crackled menacingly amidst the explosives in a macabre dance of death, all he could think about was her.

She had been by his side for so long, it seemed only natural that she would become a part of him. A part that he couldn't live without.
His heart.
