[ 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 .

I woke up on that burning summer morning as if it were just another day, but I could n't move. Outside, it all looked like it had the day before. As if nothing had changed, as if the world were the *same*. But no, no, it could never be the same. We were n't safe anymore. They told us the cure was the answer, that the cure was going to change everything, and for the longest time it did. Fifty years, to be exact. But yesterday afternoon, the hated foe had returned. Death was now a reality again, or so it seemed. One death. One woman, thirty-five years old; a brain aneurysm according to the police. There were n't any doctors to save her, because who needs doctors when you ca n't get sick, get hurt or die? 
 
 Oh, people were in a state of panic. She had gone unresponsive at 13:00, died at 15:22, and there were riots by 16:00. The police, long resigned to merely dealing with troublesome individuals were powerless to stop them. The gangs and the vicious criminals of the old days had faded away when they could n't kill and their crimes amounted to nothing. The authorities just did n't have the weapons, the manpower, or even the will to fight. 
 
 Around 22:00 the government managed to mobilize emergency troops—what good was a standing army that could n't kill? – and quell the revolts. Zero dead, thousands injured and expected to recover by the end of the week. 
 
 Now the TV tells me that scientists are scrambling to find what caused the fluke, what allowed the woman to die. They're working non-stop now, and expect to find it soon. They suspect that when the cure was administered to her, it was a dose of faulty serum. Everyone is scheduling their booster shots early as a precaution, but I'm not worried. I do n't care much anymore. 
 
 I turn my head to the side, to the newly vacated side of the bed. *They told us we had forever. *
