"There isn't enough skin! We don't have the time to make artificial skin!"

"Time of death, 5:16 PM," the doctor said tiredly.

"We did all we could," the nurse said, placing her hand on the doctor's shoulder.

"We need to go tell the family now," the nurse said, steering the doctor out of the room. She took one last glance at the small body lying under those white sheets before closing the door behind her.
