Mischief in a Fur Coat
“She felt anything but hopeful right now. Lying in bed, next to her dying boyfriend, with two of her other friends waiting to die in the bedroom next door, seemed like pretty much the opposite of hope to her.
She had tried to sleep as much as possible, just to block out the nightmare unfolding before her eyes. Drew had been drifting in and out of sleep, but each time he woke up he was a bit less coherent than the time before. His fever was unrelenting, and he wasn’t interested in eating any ...food. No matter how much Hope begged him to eat to keep up his strength, he just sadly shook his head no.
“I’m not hungry, Hope. It doesn’t matter, anyway. Whether or not I eat, I’m going to be dead within the next day or two. This disease moves quickly. I have three more days left, tops.”
Hope had broken down into tears at these words, and Drew had tried to comfort her by telling her he was always with her in spirit, and that he was just happy she wasn’t sick.MoreLess
