pretty_stickers. Prompt was "hands".
Note2: It's at almost 5 in the morning, I can't sleep because I'm full of anxiety and I wrote this in about five minutes. So it probably sucks, but I really wanted to get some drabbles in this round.

Her face is as white as a ghost already, covered in a thin sheen of sweat - but she still looks as beautiful as ever.

You lay your head upon her chest, entwine your strong hand with her own limp one. You listen as her heart beats under your ear, strong then weak.
One.
Two.
Three.
She takes one last shuddering breath and then she’s gone.
