Every inch of the hospital was bright and smelled of disinfectant. Lying upon an operating table, doctors used anesthetic on him so he would drift into darkness; they attempted to remove a bullet wound from his head.
And yet, he heard a familiar voice. "Eric?"
It took all his effort to open his eyes, "Tim?" He blinked confused, not sure how to react or respond.
"Eric, I've come for you. It's time to go."
"Go where?"
Tim simply smiled, "To a new journey, with me." He stretched out his hand.
Eric reached out and clasped his hand and noticed how easy it was to stand. He glanced around and saw his damaged body left on the operating table – dead. He turned back to Tim, who embraced Eric tightly. "It's a nice place, you know."
Eric blinked in wonder, "Really?" And Tim nodded as he guided his love toward the light.
FIN.
