He sat back to think that the doctor. Had come to find solutions but nothing worked away. The infection worsened in his chest. The patient looked at what remained of his lungs.

The man stood at a window toward the street. People passed through the door and looked at her. The silence settled over everything. Nobody came to speak for weeks. Someone knocked on the door. The patient sat still and waited for the knock to come again.
