[ WP ] You are drawing your final breathes , dying from a disease that has taken you far too young and far too quickly . Just as you are about to pass , an apparition appears before you and offers you five extra years of perfect health to spend as you see fit . But there is a catch ...

`` So you are telling me I can have five more years, but no one I know will remember me?'' 
 `` That sums it up.'' 
 The fit twenty-seven year-old sat in his hospital bed, staring out the window. The only sound came from the heart monitor. *Beep. * *Beep. * 
 `` Not even my parents? Or my sister?'' 
 `` No. Everyone will forget.'' 
 The two men sat and stared, the heart monitor creeping on. *Beep. * *Beep. * 
 `` I guess I would have motivation to do everything I wanted to do.'' 
 `` You could see it that way.'' 
 `` But my family is everything to me.'' 
 `` That is often the case.'' 
 The patient looked out the window for a minute, the monitor persisting in its lifeless, yet all-too lively rhythm. *Beep. * *Beep. * 
 The patient exhaled. `` Can you give me an extra hour, but let my family remember me?'' 
 `` No.'' 
 `` Then I think I will die.'' 
 `` Can you tell me why an hour?'' 
 `` That is when my brother would have gotten here.'' 
 The men stare at each other while they drifted away. One into the air, the other into a sleep. The only sound in the room, *Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-. *
