[ WP ] You live on a world full of immortal beings . For the first time in the history of the world 's existence , somebody has died .

`` What is happening?'' She gasped, trying to make sense of the pain that crippled her body. 
 
 She had felt pain before but never like this. The human body was perfectly adapted to heal any and all ailments instantaneously. Pain existed and was known to mankind but only in a temporary fleeting sense. Injury occurred, replaced by pain and moments later relief. Everything from a cut finger to a severed arm would heal before you had time to react. This pain was different, it slowly crept into her settling deeply inside. Starting as a throb it began to grow into an annoying discomfort and finally into agony. She began to fear for the worst. Death existed but it was a fate reserved for lesser beings. Immortality is what separated man from beast, an evolutionary leap frog that cemented humanity as the pinnacle of life on earth and perhaps the universe. 
 
 Instead of contemplating the impossibility of her predicament Katrina decided that something must be done. 
 
 Where could she go? There existed no place to seek medical attention, one was not needed, people did not get sick… but animals still did. She launched herself into action, trying her best to ignore the growing pain in her gut. Once in her car she looked up the location of the nearest veterinary office and began her half hour journey. 
 
 She had heard of a few rare cases in human history where constant pain was caused by some foreign object that ends up being healed within the body. Maybe a bullet from the gun fight she had participated in the other day still remained. Usually any bullets that did not pass through immediately were pushed out by healing tissue. Rarely a bullet could get caught under a bone forcing the body to heal around it. 
 
 That ’ s got to be it, there is no other explanation. She didn ’ t even want to go to the gun fight but her friend Shannon insisted it would be “ fun ”, loud is more like it. A wave of relief rushed over her as she rounded the final corner approaching her destination. That ’ s got to be it! She would go in explain the situation get an x-ray and get the nuisance popped out and go on with her life. 
 When she arrived she quickly approached the receptionist and explained her situation. The doctor agreed to see her immediately. 
 
 He was a young man, then again everyone looked young. It was impossible to tell ones age by looks alone but she could see the wisdom in his eyes. 
 
 “ I must warn you before we proceed; I have never treated a human before. ” He said with concern in his eyes. “ I have read what few studies exist on human ailments, but they are so few and far between to be of any help. ” 
 
 Katrina agreed, she had no other choice. At this point the pain had grown into an agony stabbing at her gut. She explained the past 24 hours thoroughly to the doctor emphasizing her current state of excruciating pain. Ending in tears she tried to articulate her current state of pain, with no personal experience to compare it to the doctor cold only imagine. He could feel the pain in her voice as she struggled to describe it. 
 
 The doctor excused himself for a moment leaving Katrina in the examination room alone. The pain was unbearable ever since she arrived at the vet it seemed to increase exponentially. In another wave of agony she felt her knees give out as she collapsed to the ground. She had reached her limit. 
 
 “ Why is this happening!? ” she screamed out hoping for an answer, knowing none will come. Her body involuntarily curled into the fetal position, her eyes flushed with tears blurring the office around her. She felt cold, helpless, and alone. A wave of pain crashed over her forcing a blood curdling scream from her lips, then relief. The pain disappeared and a feeling of weak comfort washed over her. Her eyes closed. They never opened. 
 
 The doctor came rushing into the room with a syringe filled with animal tranquilizer that was deemed safe for humans. He had to contact his old professor who studied the effect of drugs on humans, for recreational not medicinal use. But at least he knew it would provide this poor woman some relief. 
 
 She was laying there on the floor when he entered. She must have passed out he thought to himself. Humans tended to go into a coma when regenerating for too long or too much at one time. At least, he thought, she was no longer in pain. I torrent of fear entered his mind as he noticed her still chest. 
 
 Shaking he reached his hand out to touch Katrina with the intention of checking her for a pulse. He realized he didn ’ t know where to check, he has never had to do it before. He touched her wrists, legs, and neck, spots commonly used to check other animals. He felt nothing. I must be checking the wrong spots he thought, refusing to accept the impossible. He asked for help to relocate her to a makeshift bed he had made up in the back and immediately called everyone he knew that had any knowledge of human medicine quickly realizing he knew no one. 
 
 He is way out of his league and he knew it. He called the authorities at the Department of Organic Health. The lady on the phone thought he was joking at first but her attitude changed quickly when she realized he was not. 
 
 The rest happened so quickly, the office and everyone inside were quarantined and questioned. He never heard anything about her again. They let him go 2 days later assuring him that Katrina was doing well. He knew she wasn ’ t, deep down inside he knew she had died. He has seen death before, almost every day he had to put down another animal. He knew that when he looked at Katrina she was dead. But that was impossible, humans did not die we have evolved past and shed the need for a mortal coil. 
 
 He lost many nights of sleep contemplating the young woman ’ s true fate. Slowly coming to a realization that if humans were actually capable of death the government would HAVE to tell the people. Katrina must be fine. 
 
 He awoke in the middle of the night he felt a slight throbbing in his stomach. He began to cry.
