Today, is his 21st birthday.

It was supposed to be a happy occasion...spending time with his family and friends... laughing and eating happily...

But now here he is. Alone on a bed without anyone with him. 

All because of that damn virus!

It was to be expected, after all this deadly virus makes it impossible for anyone to be near him. Even doctors have to be very careful when approaching him, not to mention other people.

Laying in bed helpless to even sit, his face was extremely pale. On his chest, there was a devices that measures his heartbeat.

But despite his miserable appearance, his eyes were strangely calm.

"Cough, cough...it seems I don't have much time. To die on my birthday, I am quite lucky."

The young man, Avren, muttered these words. His mind was clear as he accepted his fate.

Although no one was in the room, the doctors were constantly checking his status from another room.

"Beb...beb....beb....beb.........beb...."

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

The sound of the heart beat device sounded in the room where the doctors stayed.

"Sigh, this young man is really pitiful. An engineering student with a good future. What a pity!" One of the doctors said while checking on the files Avren.

"Yeah I have never been more sad about a patient than him. What's even more heart breaking is the way he accepted it like it's nothing. Even though we have nothing more we could do, I have this feeling of guilt haunting me." Another doctor who was middle aged, doctor Murdoch, said with a sad tone.

The other doctors in the room looked at each other and sighed.

The heartbeat sound from the devices continued until...

"Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...."

The curve on the screen of the device turned to a straight line, announcing that Avren's heart stopped beating.

He's dead!

Doctor Murdoch's body trembled for a while. Then he smashed the cup in his hand into the wall.

"Damn it!"

Then he walked out of the room. 

The other doctors didn't speak for a while. Finally one of them said:

"His current status is confirmed. No heartbeat nor any brain activity. He's really.... dead."

The doctors continued their work normally. Although they were sad they must continue their tasks. After all, this isn't the first time they witness the death of someone.

But at that time the sound of heartbeat that disappeared for a while, returned back!

"Beb.............beb.......beb....beb....beb....beb"

All the doctors were stunned. 

Not only the sound but also the straight line on the screen of the device starting going up and down.

His heart, started beating again!

"This... How is this possible?!"

"Quickly, quickly check all his body functions!"

"Everything is normal! He...he's alive again!"

They couldn't believe themselves. A person who was confirmed 100% dead came back to life again!
