[ WP ] Humanity has cured old age . You were a friend of the last person to die of natural causes .

I glanced at the wrinkled face in contempt. It was n't *natural* for someone to be this old, this decomposed. It was n't *natural* to have life pumped into someone by a machine, or for nutrients to be injected into the bloodstream. Disdain washed over me at the sight of my friend, her face was n't supposed to be so, disgusting, it was n't supposed to have lines etched into her forehead and the area around her mouth, nose, and eyes. 
 
 I just did n't understand, I could n't understand. Why would she do this, why would she throw life away for death, she was leaving her children, her husband and her friends, she was leaving me. 
 
 A tear dripped onto her face, I wiped it away and took a stepped back. I stood next to the machine pumping her heart. I looked at the machine angrily, I did n't understand why she was still cling to life when she did n't choose it. 
 
 I glanced at me friend again, her sad wrinkled face, I looked back at the machine. She truly did n't want life, I could certainly grant her that wish. 
 
 I left the intensive care unit, back into normalcy, where people did n't age, or disrespect out fortune for life.
