[ WP ] When people die , they explode violently , destroying everything within 50 feet .

“ I love you, Carol. ” Henry ’ s voice felt thick in his throat. 
 
 “ I love you too, Henry, ” her voice a rasp against the still air. “ This isn ’ t the end. I love you. For alwa- ” Her voice cut off as another coughing fit shook her frail frame. More blood this time. Henry could tell that it was getting harder for her to keep breathing. His vision blurred as tears began to fill his eyes. 
 
 “ You can ’ t leave me, Carol, you can ’ t! ” The sharp sanitized scent of the hospital ward burnt his throat, as he realized just how much she ’ d meant to him, how she ’ d been there through the good and the bad and how he ’ d been there for her. Almost twenty years, the best twenty years of his life. “ I don ’ t know what to do without you. ” 
 
 “ You were always so strong. ” Her blue eyes met his in a solemn acceptance of her fate. “ I ’ ve had a good life. I ’ m glad I got to spend it with you. ” She shook with the obvious effort of speaking and Henry squeezed her hand a little tighter as the plain room filled with silence. 
 
 “ It ’ s time to go. ” A paramedic interrupted. Henry had forgotten about him, but he knew the rules. 
 
 “ Goodbye, Carol ” he said, his eyes meeting Carol ’ s one last time as rose from the edge of her bed. 
 
 “ Goodbye, Henry. ” Carol ’ s eyes went dim. A high pitched alarm sounded somewhere in the room. 
 
 “ Get down! ” The paramedic shouted tackling Henry into the hallway. 
 
 # BA-DA-DOOOOOOM!!!! 
 
 The explosion rocked the building sending fire through the windows. Henry felt the heat as shattered glass rained down upon him, lacerating his arms and legs. The armored paramedic lay heavy on top of Henry as smoke and fire filled the air. He looked back at the inferno that once was his wife as tears filled his eyes. 
 
 “ It ’ s okay Henry, ” the paramedic assured, “ she ’ s with the angels now. ”
