The End Of Time

June woke up to the sound of beeping machines. 

He opened his eyes and saw familiar surroundings. 

He also saw that he was connected to a heart monitor and an IV, making him frown. 

There was a person beside him, one who he instantly recognized as Casper. 

With the sound of rustling clothes, Casper woke up, quickly assuming a fighting stance. 

June would have laughed if this had been any other situation. However, he couldn't even bring himself to smile. 

"I'm not dead," June said, making Casper snap back to reality. 

He quickly sat on the bed next to June. 

"You're not," Casper affirmed. "Are you okay?" 

June weakly nodded. "And Grandma?" he asked. 

The question threw Casper off, so June instantly caught that something was wrong. 

"Casper," June said in a serious tone. "Where's Grandma?" 

Casper pursed his lips before directing his gaze to the lap. 

June's jaw clenched as his patience ran thin.
