[EXCERPT]
"I can't do this anymore!" In a torn hospital gown, Aurora screamed standing in the middle of a road. "I don't want to die, please!" She pleaded to the man standing in front of her, staring her down as she walked away slowly, not being able to remember his face.
Sean approached her trying to calm her down but she couldn't remember him.
Those were the last words he heard from her : "Please"

Though such a novel does not belong on this website, I do wish more people would see it the way I see it. I tried to put forth a novel as realistic as possible!
