Moments later there was an explosion, then another and another. Then my senses brought me back to the moment. This will continue, this pain will go on.”
There was a slight humming sound from her chest, a compartment appeared where her heart would be. There is always a way, please believe me, please trust me; just this once.”
“It is your choice Dave, it has always been your choice but you must choose between my self-destruction or you must be the hand that ends this.”
